I grew up having an Anzac Biscuit in my lunchbox and my boys seem to have inherited my love of this traditional biscuit (and the mixture!) too.  Anzacs are such a great recipe to make with the kids (with a little supervision of course) and the boys always insist on ‘testing’ the mixture before we roll them ready for the oven – ok I do too!

Why you will love this recipe:

• Simple ingredients – you need just seven basic ingredients to make this Anzac Slice recipe.
• Easy to prepare – this is a great recipe for the older kids to make on their own, with supervision of course.
• Lunchbox friendly – cut into small pieces for a yummy lunchbox treat.

Ingredients

Please note you will find the full ingredient list and method in the recipe card below.

• Rolled Oats – I do not recommend using quick oats for this recipe.
• Plain Flour – you can substitute with wholemeal plain flour.
• Brown Sugar – this is what helps to give the slice its chewy texture. You can use caster sugar, however the slice will have a different texture.
• Desiccated Coconut – do not use coconut flakes for this recipe.
• Golden Syrup – you can substitute with honey, however the flavour will be different.
• Bicarbonate of soda – this is an important ingredient as it helps to give the slice ‘light’ and will help it rise.

How to Make Anzac Slice

1. Melt the butter and combine with the golden syrup.
2. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix well to combine.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine – your mixture will be sticky.
4. Transfer to a prepared slice tin.
5. Bake for 22 – 25 minutes or until golden on top.
6. Allow the Anzac Slice to completely cool before removing and cutting into pieces.

Tips for Making Anzac Slice.

• It is important to not skip adding the bicarbonate of soda, if you miss this step your slice will be hard.
• I recommend using rolled oats and not quick oats for this recipe.
• The golden syrup can be substituted with honey, however your slice will have a different flavour.
• Allow the cooked slice to cool completely in the baking tray before removing and slicing into pieces, otherwise it will crack if moved/cut while still warm.
• To store, place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to seven days.
