2/3 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sliced/slivered almonds

Mix together oil, sugar, and eggs in a saucepan. Heat over medium for about 3 to 5 minutes stirring continually (If you microwave instead, use a microwave safe dish and cook on HIGH for 3 minutes. Stir after each minute).

In a large bowl, mix the following with a spoon: flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix with spoon until well blended. Add nuts and mix again.

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Grease lightly. Divide dough into 3 portions. Place on cookie sheet and shape each portion into a flat loaf.

Bake at 350°F until light brown, approximately 30 minutes. Remove.

Variations:

- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before returning to 300°F oven.
- Add 1/2 cup parve chocolate chips when adding nuts to make "marble " mandel bread.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave and dip finished pieces in chocolate (this becomes dairy, since it tastes best dipped in milk chocolate).

Good Luck!
