Lower-gi anzac biscuits

They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are perfect for those who are looking to maintain stable blood sugar levels. These biscuits are chewy, flavorful, and easy to make, making them a great option for a nutritious snack or dessert.

Ingredients:

1 cup oats
90g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 cup of dried coconut meat. Stir until well mixed.
3. Melt Butter:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter.
4. Add Maple Syrup:
- Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the butter and maple syrup mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and form a dough.
6. Form Biscuits:
- Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a biscuit shape.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
8. Cool:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the tray for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your Lower-GI Anzac Biscuits with a cup of tea or as a delightful snack any time of the day!

Tips:

- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature to mix more easily with the other ingredients.

- For a more even texture, consider pulsing the oats a few times in a food processor before combining them with the other ingredients.

- Keep an eye on the biscuits in the oven, and remove them when they are golden brown to prevent them from becoming too hard.

- Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack to achieve the best texture.

- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.

Lower-GI Anzac biscuits are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional recipes. By using ingredients like oats and maple syrup, these biscuits offer a healthier option without compromising on taste. Enjoy them as a snack or dessert, and feel good about the wholesome ingredients in every bite.
