GF Oats Anzac Biscuits
At GF Oats, we love Anzac biscuits more than anything.
Who doesn't love the Aussie tradition and the delicious taste of Anzac Biscuits?
Oats are simply the best in biscuits because the simple wholesome flavour offsets the sugariness and syrupy ingredients in biscuits. That's the thing about Anzac biscuits that keeps us coming back for more: the perfect marriage of sweet and savoury! The contrast between the crispness and soft chewiness makes for a satisfying snack all year round. But we can't help associating it with Autumn, mild and pleasant, and Anzac day.
Hope you enjoy this recipe.
