Angela's Anzac's

Ok so I decided to have a play around with a new recipe today and incorporate some more healthy options into the making of Anzac biscuits and here is the result!

1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup organic coconut sugar
1/2 cup organic rapadura
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desiccated coconut
120 grams tasteless coconut oil
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda ( add a little more water if mixture is too dry)

1. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees or 170 degrees for a fan forced oven.
2. Put grease proof paper onto biscuit trays or use a silicone reusable mat.
3. In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together.
4. In a microwave jug put the tasteless coconut oil and golden syrup and heat until coconut oil is melted.
5. In a small bowl add the boiling water and bicarbonate soda.
6. Add the bicarbonate of soda water mix to the golden syrup and tasteless coconut mix and stir until it froths up.
7. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir in well and is not too crumble, if the mix crumbles add a small amount of water to make it stick more together.
8. Using a teaspoon size amount of mix roll into balls and place onto the prepared trays. The biscuits will spread so leave a good amount of room between each spoon mix.
9. Place in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on trays before transferring to cooling racks.
11. Allow Anzacs to cool then eat and enjoy!

Note:
For those who don't know rapadura is a form of sugar that is the dehydrated juice from the sugar cane. It is whole and unrefined with only the water removed. To read more about the health benefits of rapadura click  HERE.
