Fibre-Power Biscotti

Makes 30 Biscotti 1 per serving

Biscotti are twice-baked cookies. These ones taste even better than the coffeeshop version, and they’re full of fibre and other good-for-you ingredients.

• Preparation: 15 minutes | Cooking: 60 minutes
• Preheat oven to: 350 °F (180 °C)
• Baking sheets, lightly greased or lined with parchment paper

1. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, beat eggs, oil, almond extract and vanilla. Stir into bran cereal mixture until well blended (dough will be dry and crumbly).
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 to 15 times, until dough holds together. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a log about 8 in (20 cm) long and 3 in (7.5 cm) wide. Place on baking sheets.
4. Bake for 30 min. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325 °F (160 °C). Remove logs from baking sheets and let cool on a wire rack for 10 min.
5. Using a serrated knife, cut each log into ½ in (1 cm) thick slices. Return slices, to baking sheets.
6. Bake for 15 min. Turn biscotti over and bake for 15 to 20 min or until light brown. Let cool.
