Low FODMAP Anzac Biscuits
Love your Anzac biscuits chewy or crunchy? Well, with this FODMAP friendly version, you can have both! Traditional Anzac biscuits use wheat flour which is high FODMAP due to its gluten content. A lot of gluten-containing flours tend to be high in FODMAPS, so we’re using gluten-free plain flour. But don’t worry, the same incredible nutty sweetness is still there!
Health Goals
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free plain flour
- 2 ½ cups quinoa flakes (or rolled oats, if not you’re not coeliac/gluten-intolerant)
- 1 ¼ cups desiccated coconut
- 100g macadamias, roughly chopped
- 180g butter
- â…“ cup rice malt syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 8 tbsp water
- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, quinoa flakes (or oats), coconut and macadamias.
- Melt the butter and rice malt syrup in a small pan over a low heat. Bring to the boil then remove from heat. Add to the dry ingredients while still hot, mixing with a wooden spoon. Add the vanilla. In a small bowl, combine water and bicarb soda. Add to the mix.
- Mix the dough together by hand until ingredients all come together. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on the lined baking tray. Flatten biscuits before placing in the oven (as they don’t spread too much).
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes (10 minutes for a softer/chewy biscuit, or 12 minutes if you prefer a crunchy biscuit).
- Cool on a wire rack and enjoy with a nice cuppa!
