healthyish gluten free vegan anzac buscuits.

Today is ANZAC Day in Australia and what better way is there to commemorate this day with none other than the iconic ANZAC Biscuit. It's not often you can find an ANZAC biscuit in shops that is gluten free and its something that I haven't had in quite a while, so, what better than to make them and share the recipe with everyone! These ANZAC biscuits don't follow any traditional recipe but they are a bit healthier than your traditional ANZAC biccy.

3. In a small saucepan, over a medium heat, place the coconut sugar and dairy free butter for around 3-5 minutes or until everything is melted and combined.

4. Combine the hot water and bi-carb soda in a cup or small bowl and then add to the butter and coconut sugar, making sure all of the bi-carb mix goes into the butter mixture.

7. On lined baking trays, place the mixture in tablespoon sized with some room around them for spreading during cooking, approx. 3cm. You can flatten the cookies a little with the back of a regular metal spoon if you would prefer a thinner and bigger, just keep an eye on them while they cook.
