Golden Anzac Biscuits
Get ready to indulge your taste buds with our delicious Golden Anzac Biscuits recipe - with our Dietitian twist! We've swapped out the traditional butter for some extra virgin olive oil and amped up the fibre content with rolled oats and wholemeal flour. This means you will not only enjoy delicious biscuits that are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, you will also be nourishing your body with unsaturated fats, fibre and vitamin E. Your heart and gut health can thank us later! What are you waiting for, grab your apron and get ready to bake up a storm.
Makes 12
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
⅔ cup desiccated coconut
1 cup wholemeal flour
¼ cup maple syrup
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp water
½ tsp bicarb soda
2 tbsp dried fruit/seed mix, finely diced (e.g. raisins, cranberries, pepita seeds)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Pour oil into a small saucepan on medium heat and add maple syrup. Stir to combine.
Add the bicarb soda and water to the saucepan and mix. Remove from heat.
Mix the oats, flour, desiccated coconut and dried fruit/seed mix in a separate large bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together.
With your hands or in an ice cream spoon, scoop out the mixture and shape each biscuit into a ball. Place on the tray, leaving enough space between each biscuit for baking.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden (crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside).
Allow the biscuits to cool in the tray for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Note, the biscuits are freshly soft from the oven, so will firm up with room temperature.
