If classic blueberry muffins and biscotti had a baby, it would be this Blueberry Muffin Biscotti. Buttery, crisp and perfect for dipping — as biscotti should be. But, with all the nostalgic flavor of a classic blueberry muffin. There is no better way to eat biscotti for breakfast!
This Blueberry Muffin Biscotti has a hint of cinnamon, big juicy dried blueberries, and it's topped with a sprinkle of cane sugar for the perfect texture combined with this crispy twice baked cookie. This is perfect for dipping in a warm cup of coffee, side by side with your cup of tea, or dipping in milk.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Cookies for Breakfast: This makes the perfect biscotti for breakfast on those days when you’re treating yourself and having dessert for breakfast or even just enjoying it right after breakfast with your tea or coffee.
Light & Crispy: This biscotti is crispy, lightly sweetened, with a hint of cinnamon. I use dried blueberries in this biscotti so it keeps it really crisp, as fresh blueberries can have too much moisture for a dessert that is supposed to be crispy, like biscotti. That’s why I use dried blueberries. And the dried blueberries I use are made by Food to Live and I’m obsessed with these, they are one of my favorite sweet treats, I eat them like candy sometimes because they are so good!
Make Ahead: I love making biscotti as it's a great make ahead dessert. Because of it's crispy texture it is perfect when it just sits out on the counter. So, if you are making things for a party or brunch the following day, then biscotti is a great choice!
Ingredients
- Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter in this recipe. Be sure your butter is soft, just like if you're making cookies.
- Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar for the biscotti and also on top before baking which creates a perfect texture and subtle crunch that I love!
- Vanilla Extract: My favorite is Simply Organic.
- Eggs: I use organic large eggs, be sure to use large and not medium or extra large because that can make dough too dry or too wet.
- All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills as they are a small flour mill doing it right.
- Baking Powder: I use baking powder in this recipe because there is no acid, so you can't use baking soda. For more info on the difference, be sure to check out my post Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder.
- Salt: I use fine sea salt.
- Cinnamon: My favorite ground cinnamon is organic Korintje cinnamon as I think it has the best flavor profile. You can use whichever variety of cinnamon you like best though.
- Blueberries: I use organic dried blueberries. Don't use fresh blueberries as there is too much moisture in them for biscotti. But, you could use freeze dried blueberries if you don't have dried.
Tools Needed
- Scale: I always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- Stand Mixer: I use my stand mixer for this recipe.
- Half Sheet Pan: You'll just need one half sheet pan for this recipe.
- Parchment Paper: I always use parchment paper for ease, but I also think it bakes better with it. My favorite nontoxic parchment paper is from Kana.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
To make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, 170 grams of cane sugar, vanilla extract, and mix on low until combined and there are no chunks of butter. Add the eggs and mix just slightly, enough to break the yolks.
Next, add the all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt in that order and mix on low until a stiff dough forms. Add the blueberries and mix to combine.
Step 3
Using your hands form a large log out of the cookie dough and flatten slightly so it’s about 1-inch thick, it should be about 12 x 3 inches. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of cane sugar on top of the log.
Step 4
Bake for 35 minutes or until the middle looks set, but not completely done. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Trim off the edges, then slice into 12 pieces and bake again for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. (If you're baking at high altitude, be sure to check the Notes at the bottom of the recipe for high altitude baking instructions).
FAQ's
Yes! Feel free to use dried cranberries, raisins, or even dried apricots. All of these would be delicious in this sweet biscotti with a hint of cinnamon.
Yes, I provide a simple adjustment in the Notes at the bottom of the recipe for gluten free baking instructions. I even link the gluten free flour I tested this with.
Homemade biscotti is crispy and buttery, so it needs to be stored in a cool dry place. I leave mine out on a plate on the counter for a few days while we eat it. Don't put it under a dome or in an airtight container as it can become soggy.
