• Are you a fan of sweet treats that are not only
  delicious but also healthy? If yes, then youre
  going to love this ANZAC BISCUIT recipe!
• As you know, ANZAC biscuits are a classic
  Australian and New Zealand delicacy. Theyre made
  using oats, flour, and sugar, but Ive put my own
  twist on them by making them vegan-friendly. This
  means you can enjoy a delicious snack without any
  guilt!
• The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps is
  where the name Anzac comes from, and the
  biscuits have a long history. Anzac Day
  commemorates the anniversary of the first
  significant military combat conducted by
  Australian and New Zealand forces..

• According to legend, the original Anzac Biscuits
  were created by the wives of troops during World
  War I using ingredients that would remain fresh
  for the several weeks it took for the soldiers to
  arrive overseas. The original biscuits were
  rock-hard, but the recipe has changed over time
  to make them more enjoyable to eat

• Prep time 15 minutes
• Cook time 10-12 minutes
• Total time 25 minutes
• Serves Makes approx 12 biscuits!

5

• To begin with, I chose high-fiber rolled oats to
  give this recipe a boost of fiber and important
  vitamins and minerals. Also, they provide the
  biscuits with a pleasant texture that increases
  their fullness and satisfaction.
• Secondly, to make this recipe suitable for anyone
  with gluten sensitivities or intolerance,
  gluten-free flour is substituted for regular
  wheat flour. But, feel free to indulge if you
  have no dietary restrictions. You may substitute
  normal wheat flour if you like.

6

• Unrefined coconut sugar is substituted by
  ordinary white sugar or golden syrup when it
  comes to sweeteners. Natural sweetener coconut
  sugar has a lower glycemic index than white
  sugar, thus it wont result in a surge in blood
  sugar levels. Also, it has a delicate caramel
  flavor that harmonizes nicely with the oats and
  coconut in the biscuits.
• Finally, to make this dish vegan-friendly, melted
  coconut oil is used in place of conventional
  butter. Coconut oil is a wonderful plant-based
  substitute for butter and gives the biscuits a
  little coconut taste.

7

• Ingredients
• 1 cup rolled oats (high fibre and so healthy)
• 1 cup gluten-free flour (can use wheat flour if
  you are not gluten-free
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (essential to help them
  get nice and bouncy)
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar (love using unrefined sugar
  in baking)
• 3/4 cup desiccated coconut (desiccated is super
  fine coconut and highly recommend in this recipe)
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup (again love unrefined
  sugars and maple just tastes amazing)
• 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flax meal and 3
  tablespoons water)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted, can substitute for
  butter if you prefer coconut oil is a great
  vegan option)

8

• Method
• Preheat oven at 180 degrees
• Line a baking tray with baking paper
• Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well to
  form a cookie dough.
• If the mixture is too wet and oily, add more
  gluten-free flour.
• If it hasn't formed well then add coconut oil (a
  teaspoon at a time)
• Roll the dough to form flat, round-shaped
  biscuits - ideally the size of the palm of your
  hand.
• Bake on a baking tray at 180 degrees for 15
  minutes (longer for a crunchier biscuit)
• Allow to cook and then enjoy

• Frequently Asked Questions
• How many biscuits does the recipe make?
• This recipe usually yields around 12 biscuits,
  which is just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth
  cravings. They are the perfect size to find in
  the palm of your hand, making them ideal for a
  quick snack or a lunchtime treat.
• Can you store them in the freezer?
• Yes, you can absolutely freeze them! Freezing
  biscuits is a great way to extend their shelf
  life. Simply place them in an airtight container
  and freeze them. When you are ready to enjoy
  them, take them out of the freezer and allow them
  to thaw naturally. You can enjoy them as they
  are, or heat them up for a few minutes in the
  oven to restore their crispiness..

13

• Whats the best way to store them?
• To keep your Anzac biscuits fresh for longer,
  its best to store them in an airtight container.
  If they become soft, you can easily crisp them up
  again by baking them in the oven for a few
  minutes.
• What kind of oats should I use?
• For this recipe, I recommend using rolled oats.
  They are widely available and provide a great
  texture to the biscuits. However, all oats can
  have different levels of absorbency, so you may
  need to adjust the quantities to achieve the
  right consistency for your cookie dough.

14

• What other sugar substitutes can I use ?
• If you dont have coconut sugar on hand, you can
  use brown sugar as a substitute. Alternatively,
  you can swap out the maple syrup for rice malt
  syrup, which is very low in fructose. If youre
  not vegan, you can also use honey as a substitute
