I love food. One misconception about people who eat healthy is that we mustn’t really like food and that we must be live in a world without flavour. If it’s healthy, it must be bland right? Well, in my house that is definitely NOT the case. When people ask me what I do and the conversation inevitably turns to food, the thing I bang on about most is that you can still enjoy the food you love, all you need to do is give it a healthy twist.
This is exactly what I want to share with you today. How you can make a healthy change and enjoy the food you love (so nobody – aka the kids, don’t freak out!).
So, I give to you: The Anzac Biscuit. The biscuit that brings back childhood memories of sweet bubbling bicarb goodness. Everyone loves a good old Anzac (yes?!).
The only question you need to ask yourself is this:
Chewy or crunchy?
Anzac Biscuits
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
1 cup raparuda sugar
1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
1 tsp bicarb soda
4 tbsp pure maple syrup
250g butter
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a bowl. Mix to combine.
3. Dice the butter and place into a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the maple syrup and stir for 2 minutes or until the butter has melted. Stir in the bicarb.
4. Add the butter to the oat mixture and stir to combine.
5. Roll into balls (about 2 tablespoons), flatten slightly and place on the tray 4cm apart.
6. Place into the oven for about 10 minutes (until slightly golden on top).
7. Once cooled slightly, place on a wire rack to cool completely.
* Rapadura sugar is the pure juice extracted from cane sugar. It has not been heated at high temperatures (like most commercially available sugars). Since it is not highly processed, it has a grainy texture (rather than crystallised) and a slight caramel flavour. However, it is still a sugar and should be used in moderation. Rapadura sugar can be found in most health food stores.
