I love that these healthy ANZAC biscuits<\/strong> have a story to tell. With roots in World War 1, they were baked en masse to raise funds for the war effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. ANZAC day is a national day of remembrance, marking the anniversary of the day the ANZAC troops landed on the shores of Gallipoli (now Turkey) on 25th<\/sup> April, 1915. Over 11,000 ANZACs died during this one campaign [1<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 100 years on, the biscuits are still baked and enjoyed to commemorate those who served and died in the war. Lest we forget. 🕊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional ANZAC biscuits taste sweet with a caramelized, buttery flavour, thanks to the oats, coconut and golden syrup. They tend to be crunchy on the outer with a soft and chewy inner texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe for ANZAC biscuits doesn’t disappoint – it delivers on the taste front yet is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free. They’re packed with nutrition and are fab lunch box fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easily a national favourite, alongside the likes of ginger crunch<\/a>, caramel slice<\/a> and afghans!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

🎖ANZAC biscuits history and origin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps was established in 1914, with troupes deployed to the first world war to fight alongside Allied forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a popular myth circulating that ANZAC biscuits were sent to soldiers in Gallipoli. However, the truth is that ANZAC’s relied on rock-hard, shelf-stable tooth-breaker’s known as the Ship’s biscuit, according to the National Army Museum (NZ) [2<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANZAC biscuits in fact never left our shorelines. They were baked and sold at fetes, galas and other events to raise money for the war effort. This fundraising initiative alone raised over 6.5 billion pounds [3<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classic recipe was originally made with basic ingredients – oats, flour, sugar and golden syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
