Healthier Coconut Flour Anzac Biscuits

23/04/2016 By Caralee 2 Comments

I love the challenge of creating a healthier version of an old favourite, so today I came up with a killer recipe for Anzac biscuits using coconut flour. I had to make a couple of batches and have an epic fail before I nailed it!

Anzac Biscuits are delicious anytime of the year, so don’t wait for the 25th of April to arrive before you make a batch of these yummy biscuits.

I was interested to know the history about the Anzac Biscuit so I did a little google research. I found out that these simple but delicious biscuits made with rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda and boiling water, were sent by Australian & New Zealand wives to soldiers who were at war. The ingredients didn’t spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during the long over sea’s journey by sea.

In this recipe instead of using wheat flour, I used coconut flour and to replace the sugar and golden syrup, I used dried dates and honey. They turned out super well and you wouldn’t even know that they are a healthier version. These home-made biscuits will beat any commercially brought version hands down and they only take a few minutes to whip together.

    Hi Caralee – this recipe looks delish but was wondering if you think they would work with quinoa flakes instead of rolled oats?? I can’t seem to buy gluten free rolled oats anywhere and there is some serious debate as to whether rolled oats are actually gluten free anyway!! Thanks

      Hi Amy. Quinoa flakes are a brilliant idea. I think that they would work really well. xx
