It doesn’t have to be Anzac Day to enjoy an Anzac biscuit, they are a tasty treat all year round and this recipe makes the perfect chewy Anzac biscuit.

What you’ll need:

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup dessicated coconut
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 125g butter
  • 2 tbs golden syrup
  • 1 tsp bicarb soda
  • orange zest (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
  2. Sift flour into a bowl, add the oats, coconut and brown sugar and mix.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup and 3 tablespoons of water together over a medium heat until melted. Remove from heat and add in the bicarbonate of soda.
  4. Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture, add the vanilla extract and orange zest and stir until combined.
  5. Roll small balls of the mixture and place on lined trays and press with a fork to flatten slightly.
  6. Bake for 10 mins or until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to stand on trays for 5 minutes.
  8. Leave to cool completely on wire racks.
  9. EAT!

Note: when these are removed from the oven they will still be soft, but they do harden up.

  • I don’t bake them or too long otherwise when they are cold they can be very hard to bite – you don’t want damaged teeth.

  • Warm ANZAC biscuits sooo good. They don’t last very long in our house, but well worth the time spent together! Making them!

  • We love Anzac biscuits, but I’ve never made them myself. I can buy a 12-pack at Coles for $2.50, so they’re a regular go-to.

  • My kids love homemade Anzac cookies. I make then gluten-free with quinoa flakes instead of oats and buckwheat flour instead of plain flour. I make them a bit healthier using yacon syrup instead of golden syrup, 1/4 cup of coconut palm sugar instead of 3/4 cup brown sugar and raw vanilla powder instead of vanilla extract. I often add macadamia nuts and prefer not to add orange or lemon zest.

  • I’m definitely going to be cooking these but without the orange zest. I love that they are chewy because my biscuits never seem to be crispy.

  • Just made a batch for my son to take to school-but not because it’s Anzac day, because it was his birthday and they are his favourite biscuit!
