Healthy Anzac Biscuits
These healthy Anzac biscuits are made without butter, refined sugar or flour. But they've still got the classic crunchy texture and flavour of a traditional Anzac biscuit. Made with oats, coconut and a little honey, they are satisfying and delicious.
Equipment
- Food processor or blender Can also make without, see notes
- baking tray
- baking paper
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 100 g oats
- 50 g desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees (140 fan). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Melt the coconut oil, honey and peanut butter together in a saucepan over a low heat. Remove from the heat as soon as melted.
- Blitz 50g of the oats in a food processor or blender until broken down into rubbly flour.
- Add the blended oats, whole oats, coconut and baking powder to the melted oil and honey. Stir well, squishing it together thoroughly with the back of a spoon to ensure is properly mixed and there are no dry oats.
- Divide the mixture into 8 and press together into balls.
- Place the balls on the baking sheet and flatten them down into biscuits. They should be about 0.5cm thick.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn partway if necessary to ensure that they brown evenly.
- Leave to cool on the tray and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- If you don't have a food processor, use 50g of oats and 50g of oat flour or instant oats.
- Use maple syrup in place of honey for vegan Anzac biscuits.
- For a quick alternative, make healthy Anzac slices. Press the mixture into a lined 20 x 20cm tin. Cut into slices whilst slightly warm (but not hot) but leave in the tin until fully cold.
