Anzac Biscuits – Six Healthy Recipes

Anzacs are arguably Australia’s favourite biscuit.

They are named after our Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. During World War 1, wives and mothers of our soldiers came up with these nutrient packed biscuits to send to the soldiers. As there was no refrigeration, food sent had to have a long life.

In Australia now, it is traditional to make Anzac biscuits on Anzac Day, the 25th of April. It’s a wonderful way to remember our history and honour those who served their country.

The original ingredients of Anzacs are rolled oats, sugar, plain flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup, bicarb and boiling water.  Here are some recipes that have been healthified up. Enjoy.
