You'll want to make these healthy Anzac Day biscuits all year round

A tasty way to commemorate Anzac Day

Not only are these biscuits an essential Anzac day staple, but they are a healthy, delicious and easy go-to treat this weekend.  

Anzac Day is just around the corner, which means one of Australia's tastiest treats is too. 

If you can't wait to sink your teeth into some chewy, oaty Anzac biscuits this year, why not try my rendition? Sweetened with raw honey and vanilla for a healthier alternative, without missing out on that classic flavour. 

Pair with afternoon tea or your morning coffee, any day of the year. 

Anzac Cookies 

Serves: 12

Prep: 00:05

Cook: 00:15

Ingredients 

• 1 cup rolled oats (or quinoa flakes)
• 1/2 cup wholemeal spelt flour
• 2/3 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup flaked almonds
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (or gluten-free baking powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 3 tablespoons raw honey
• 3 tablespoons warm water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method 

1. Preheat oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In one large bowl add oats, flour, coconut, almonds, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and mix until well combined.
3. In a second bowl, add butter, honey, water and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add in the wet. Stir until combined.
5. Roll a tablespoon of the dough into a ball, place it on a lined baking tray and flatten it out with the palm of your hand into a circle. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving 3 cm between each cookie. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
6. Allow to cool on the baking tray before removing. Cookies store for 2 weeks in an air-tight container.
