Anzac Biscuits (with a Healthy Twist)
I actually started developing this healthier Anzac biscuit recipe quite a few years ago. After lots of experimenting, (and a lot of taste testing!) I finally landed on a version I was happy to share.
And yes… I know there’s always a bit of debate about whether they’re still a “true” Anzac biccie if you stray from the traditional ingredients.
I’ll let you decide though. I think they speak for themselves.
Why are these Anzac biscuits so good?
What makes these Anzacs such a great treat is that they’re made with simple, real ingredients.
They’re naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup, so you still get a lovely sweetness without the overly sugary hit you often get with Anzacs.
This recipe uses a combination of:
- almond meal
- oats
- coconut
- pure maple syrup
There’s also a little bit of peanut butter in there, which adds a subtle crunch and richness.
If you’ve cut back on added sugar, you’ll probably notice the difference straight away – these are just nicely sweet, without that heavy, “too much” feeling afterwards.
And for the real test… even Jayson (my very fussy dessert/sweets critic hubby 😄) is a fan.
