Ingredients
- 3 cups traditional rolled oats
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup, rice malt syrup, or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon warm water
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°FBlend 1 cup of the rolled oats in a blender into a fine oat flour
- Add rolled oats, oat flour, coconut, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix
- In a separate small bowl, add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and water and mix
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry bowl and with a large spoon mix until well combined
- Scoop a heaped tablespoon (or you can also use a cookie scooper) of the mixture into one of your hands and press into a ball shape using both hands. It helps if your hands are wet. *Note, if the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or additional coconut oil. This is due to rolled oats having different absorption levels depending on the brand
- Add the balls to a baking tray lined with baking paper, making sure to leave some gaps in between
- Using wet fingers and hands, gently flatten each ball into a round biscuit shape. Be super gentle when doing so as the mixture can break easily
- Put in the oven for 10 minutes for a softer biscuit or up to 15 minutes for a crunchy biscuit if you prefer them like me :) Bear in mind, this recipe is for a crunchier biscuit.
- Rest biscuits on the tray for 5 minutes then on a cooling rack for an extra 5 minutes and enjoy your Healthy Anzac biscuits!The longer they are left, the more crunchy they will become!
