How to Make Honey Almond Biscotti

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, and vanilla extract (if using).
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chopped almonds, cinnamon, and optional ingredients (if using).
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place the log on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake for another 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
