I know I said I had lost my patience for baking and to be honest I had no intention of making, or sharing our traditional Anzac biscuit recipe at all but what can I tell you, I’m a sucker for tradition.
And how can I say no to this face . . .
So, if you are looking for a simple but delicious, healthier, homemade version of traditional Anzac biscuits then look no further.
These Anzac biscuits are golden and crisp on the outside and deliciously chewy on the inside.
They are super simple to make, made with just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in about 20 minutes – even when you have little hands/helpers involved ♥
This recipe is a much loved family favorite and one that we traditionally make in honor of Anzac day each and every year. It’s a much loved classic that holds a special place in our hearts and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Healthy, homemade ANZAC biscuits
- Cook Time: 15 mins
- Persons: 6-10
- Difficulty: Easy
- Ingredients
- 1/2 C rolled oats (Use gluten-free if sensitive, you could also sub quinoa flakes if you prefer to make paleo-friendly)
- 1/3 C shredded (desiccated) coconut
- 1/2 C flour (use gluten-free if sensitive – paleo friends – sub almond flour – cassava flour or Bob’s Red Mills paleo baking blend )
- 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda – aka baking soda
- 1/4 C monk fruit sweetener (I love using the golden for that hint of molasses/caramel – or coconut sugar or reg brown sugar)
- 2 Tbsp butter/ghee or coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup – I use sugar free
- 1 Tbsp boiling water
- Instructions
- Line a baking tray with baking/parchment paper (or a silpat mat) and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 150’C (300’F)
- Place oats, coconut, flour and sugar into a medium size bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Place butter into a small saucepan over low heat, add maple syrup and allow to melt.
- Remove melted butter/maple syrup mix from heat and add baking soda, then boiling water and stir to combine and pour immediately into your oat/flour mix and stir to combine.
- Spoon a heaping scoop of batter into your hands and shape into rounds then place onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all batter has been used (we usually get 8-10).
- Bake for approx 8-10 minutes, until golden.
- Enjoy xo
