- Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas 5. Grease a baking tray or line with parchment.
- In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs and treacle. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.
- Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the biscotti. Place rolls on baking tray, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1cm thickness.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
- When cool enough to touch, cut into 1cm thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on baking tray, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.

Took shortcuts. Rather than putting the dry ingredients in a separate bowl I stuck everything in together - kneading was the most effective way of combining the ingredients fully! - 11 Jun 2011
This is really easy to make and makes a lovely end to a meal served with espresso or any coffee you fancy. Oh and the spice amounts are well worth it even though it seems like a ridiculous amount of each one! - 11 Jun 2011
Really easy to make - I also cheated and just chucked it all in together and mixed it up. Really full of flavour and went down a treat. - 13 Feb 2014
