ANZAC cookies are traditionally associated with the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps established in World War I. The ingredients in the traditional recipe were used because they wouldn’t spoil and the cookies could last the long journey via naval transport. Wives and women’s groups would send the biscuits to the officers as a sweet treat during wartime. The biscuits were also often sold at fetes and public events to raise money for military effort.
We have modified the traditional Anzac Biscuit recipe to increase the nutrition content and decrease the use of refined flours and sugar. The high composition of rolled oats and protein containing almond meal also helps to lower the GI of these biscuits to provide longer, sustained energy.
