Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 0.25 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the canola oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Warm gently, stirring occasionally, until the honey is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the dissolved baking soda mixture, stirring quickly as the mixture may foam up a bit.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until completely combined.
Take tablespoons of the mixture, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking trays. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are a golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these delicious low-fat ANZAC cookies with a cup of tea or as a light snack throughout the day.
