Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup oats
90g
1 cup coconut meat
150g
1 cup almonds
120g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 tsp baking soda
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, coconut meat, chopped almonds, and brown sugar. Stir in the orange zest. Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
3. Melt Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the maple syrup and water. Stir well to combine.
4. Add Baking Soda: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam up slightly.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a dough.
6. Shape Biscuits: Take tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each ball to allow for spreading during baking. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your hand or a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
8. Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy: Serve your orange and almond Anzac biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is melted before mixing to help combine the ingredients evenly.

- Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor; avoid using dried zest.

- If you prefer a coarser texture, roughly chop the almonds rather than using pre-ground almonds.

- Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack; they will firm up as they cool.

- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.

Crispy on the edges and chewy in the center, these Orange and Almond Anzac Biscuits are a treat to savor. The addition of orange zest and almonds gives a refreshing twist to the classic Anzac biscuit, making it a memorable bake. Enjoy them with a hot cup of tea or share them with friends and family for a delightful experience.
