Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Australian
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, desiccated coconut, coconut sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, add maple syrup and baking soda, whisking gently until the mixture becomes slightly foamy and well combined.
- Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and form a cohesive dough.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the oats absorb moisture and makes the dough easier to handle.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the biscuits will firm up and become crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, especially the almond flour and rolled oats, to ensure consistency in texture.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter biscuit, feel free to add a bit more coconut sugar or maple syrup, but be mindful of the moisture content.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Consider adding a handful of vegan chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the dough for an extra flavor boost.
- Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Allowing the dough to rest for 5 minutes helps the oats absorb moisture, resulting in a better texture.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so start checking your biscuits at the 12-minute mark to avoid overbaking. They should be golden brown on the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- Cool Properly: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them firm up nicely.
- Storage Tips: Store your Anzac Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh and delicious.
