Ingredients
Please note you will find the full ingredient list in the recipe card below.
To make this easy Chocolate Chip Anzac Slice, you will need: plain flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, butter, bicarbonate of soda, golden syrup, desiccated coconut (I do not recommend using shredded or flaked coconut), water and of course chocolate chips. Use either milk or dark chocolate.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Anzac Slice:
Please note you will find the full method (including both conventional and Thermomix cooking instructions) in the recipe card below:
Step 1. Melt the butter with the brown sugar and golden syrup.
Step 2. Add the remaining dry ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) and mix until almost combined.
Step 3. Add the chocolate chips and mix through.
Step 4. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking tray and bake until golden.
Step 5. Allow the slice to completely cool before slicing into pieces.
Tips for Making this Anzac Slice Recipe:
This slice is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoyed within seven days.
When adding the chocolate chips to this recipe, it’s important to let the mixture sit for a minute or two (especially if you are making it in a Thermomix) to let it cool before adding the chocolate chips, and also making sure you add them just as the slice is ready to go into the oven. If you don’t you may find that your chocolate chips will lose their shape and start to melt through the Anzac Slice mixture, which really isn’t that bad of an issue to have I guess!
You can also sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top of the slice before placing into the oven.
It is important to let the slice completely cool before slicing into pieces, otherwise it will crumble when cutting.
You can freeze the leftover slice for up to two months.
