Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly using a spoon or your hands to ensure even distribution of the protein powder.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup together, stirring occasionally until smooth and well combined.
In a small cup, mix baking soda with boiling water, then quickly add this mixture to the melted butter and syrup. The mixture will froth slightly, which is normal.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a moist dough forms. If necessary, use your hands to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using your hands, roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein Anzac biscuits as a delicious snack or energy boost!
