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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Special K cereal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces on a slight diagonal.

Step 9

Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side down, and return to the oven.

Step 10

Bake the biscotti for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, flipping them over halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.

Step 11

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
