Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Special K cereal
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Slivered almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Special K cereal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a firm dough forms. If adding slivered almonds, fold them in at this stage.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces on a slight diagonal.
Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side down, and return to the oven.
Bake the biscotti for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, flipping them over halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
