Happy Australia Day! I usually commemorate Australia Day by making a classic Aussie recipe, this year it’s Anzac Biscuits – which are more commonly made to commemorate Anzac Day, but I just felt like making them over the weekend! (You can read more about the fascinating history of Anzac Biscuits HERE.)

There are so many versions of Anzac Biscuits – all usually include oats, flour, coconut, butter and golden syrup (though I prefer raw honey). The volumes differ but usually the end result is similar – a delicious, crunchy biscuit which are incredibly addictive! I adapted this particular recipe from a Women’s Weekly Cookbook called “Old-Fashioned Favourites”.

I’ve successfully made these without flour in the past – replacing the plain flour with either the same volume of almond flour or 1/4 of a cup of coconut flour.

My kids love making these with me. Mixing all the dry ingredients together, watching the almost science-like experiment of the butter foaming up once the bicarb is added and then shaping the biscuits once the batter is combined. Of course their favourite part of all is eating biscuit after yummy biscuit!

Anzac Biscuits Recipe

Print

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Rolled Oats
• 3/4 Cup Unbleached Plain Flour
• 3/4 Cup Shredded Coconut
• 1/3 Cup Raw Sugar
• 125g Unsalted Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Raw Honey
• 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda, dissolved in 2 Tablespoons Boiling Water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F and line a baking tray with well greased baking paper.
2. Combine the oats, flour, coconut and sugar together in a large bowl.
3. Melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan. Once melted, stir through the bicarb mixture, which caused the butter/honey to foam up.
4. Immediately pour the butter mixture over the oats mixture and stir until fully combined and moist.
5. Place tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking tray - leaving space between them to expand.
6. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to become solid, crisp and crunchy.
