"HEALTHIER ANZAC SLICE"

There’s something about ANZAC slice that just feels like home — simple, nostalgic, and seriously hard to stop at one piece. But like most classic treats, it can be a little heavy on the sugar and butter… which is totally fine sometimes, but not always what you want if you’re trying to stay on track.

That’s where this healthier ANZAC slice comes in. It keeps all the good stuff you love — the chewy oats, the coconut, that golden syrup flavour — but with a few smarter swaps to make it a bit lighter, more balanced, and something you can enjoy more often without the guilt.

Perfect for a post-training snack, lunchbox addition, or just something to have with your coffee, this is a recipe that proves you don’t have to give up your favourites — just tweak them.

ingredients:

• 2 cups Big rolled oats

• 1 cup Almond Meal

• 1 cup Coconut sugar

• ¾ cup Desiccated coconut

• ½ cup butter

• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter

• ½ teaspoon Bicarb soda

method:

1. Preheat fan oven to 170 degrees C. Line a square or rectangle baking tin with baking paper. (Spray with a little oil to make the paper stick.)

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, almond meal, coconut sugar and coconut. Mix together.

3. Add butter, peanut butter and maple syrup to a pot on the stove and heat on medium high heat until melted, stirring continuously – about 3 minutes. Once melted, stir through the bicarb soda until dissolved.

4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture in. Mix together with a large spoon, until its well combined.

5. Spoon out the batter into baking tin that has been lined with baking paper. Press mixture into tin with fingers.

6. Bake for 23-25 minutes in a fan oven preheated to 170 degrees C, until its golden brown.

7. Once cooked, remove from oven and let it cool in the tray for 15 minutes. Then, remove and set aside on a wire rack to cool, to room temperature (covered with a tea towel).
