Anzac Slice Ingredients:
Please note you will find the full list of ingredients and method in the recipe card below:

- Rolled Oats – I suggest using rolled oats vs quick oats.

Made this for my family and my husband ate two squares as soon as i cut it and complained some one had been eating his amazing slice .
I also took someone’s advice used half wholemeal flour and extra oats and it still tasted fantastic.

What a great idea! I never thought of doing Anzac bikkies as a slice! My kiddos are always starving after school! Think I may have to make it this week!
