More weights & measures
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/4 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1/2 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup
  • 1/4 cup canola or rice bran oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

    2 Combine golden syrup, oil and water in a microwave-proof bowl and stir to combine. Microwave on HIGH for 25–30 seconds. Whisk in baking soda until well combined (it might foam up a little).

      Quite dense. Used rice bran oil which effected the taste. They don’t taste sweet like normal anzacs

      If you use canola there’s no strong taste. I love that they are not sickly sweet like normal Anzac biscuits – and they’re great with a cup of tea.
