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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and set aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the dissolved baking soda mixture, stirring quickly as the mixture may foam up a bit.
Step 6
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until completely combined.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve these delicious low-fat ANZAC cookies with a cup of tea or as a light snack throughout the day.
