Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter.
- Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
- 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.
- 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.
