These Anzac biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, featuring the added boost of quinoa flakes. Not only do they satisfy your sweet cravings, but they also pack a nutritious punch with the wholesome goodness of oats and quinoa flakes. Let’s dive into the recipe and discover the perfect balance of chewy, crunchy, and utterly delicious!
Quinoa flakes are not only gluten free but also rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like magnesium and phosphorus. Combined with gluten-free rolled oats, they provide a wholesome energy boost and contribute to a satisfyingly chewy texture in these Anzac biscuits. Oats, on the other hand, are a great source of beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber known for its heart-healthy benefits and ability to promote digestive health. Enjoy these gluten free vegan Anzac biscuits with a cuppa or break them up and add them to a gluten free granola!
