Kindof Anzac Biscuits
A slightly healthier version of the classic
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
- 1 cup wholemeal flour
- 1/4 cup linseeds (ground up a little)
- 1/2 cup macadamia oil
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 tsp bicarb soda
- 3 tbsp hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175oC
- Combine oats, coconut, flour in a mixing bowl
- Combine oil, maple syrup, vanilla essence and bicarb in a small bowl
- Add hot water to liquids and stir
- Add liquids to oat mixture and combine
- Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls and place on lined trays
- Gently press each ball to flatten slightly
- Bake for 12-15mins until slightly golden
- Cool and rack and enjoy (they taste nice warm!)
Notes
- Definitely not as melt in your mouth as traditional Anzac biscuits that contain a lot of butter and sugar but I really liked this more subtle taste.
- I love trying to incorporate ingredients like linseeds (that are great for menopausal women) into cooking
- With this first try, I could have ground up the linseeds a little better, so the nutrients were exposed more.
- I love vanilla and I think it gives this recipe a really nice flavour.
- The biscuits are a little flaky but still delicious!
