ANZAC biscuits are a very popular treat in New Zealand and Australia, served commonly on the ANZAC-day weekend in April. They are generally made from rolled oats, coconut, butter, golden syrup and flour. In true 99th Monkey style, we have whipped up a batch (okay, maybe 2) of our very own ANZAC biscuits, with a twist.
At 99th monkey, we’re all about the snacks. We’re all about balance, enjoying life and treating yourself! We love trying new and fabulous creations, and if we can find a healthier version so we can enjoy them more frequently, we’re here for it!
This sweet, chewy, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, vegan-friendly Anzac biscuit is a healthier alternative to the popular Anzac biscuits! You can use any nut butter in your ANZAC biscuits. We’ve chosen to use our ABC Butter for an extra tasty punch. Just three ingredients: Roasted Almonds, Cashews, and Brazil Nuts.
It’s as easy as A, B, C...let’s get to it.
