Vegan Anzac Biscuits

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
2. Mix oats, flour, coconut, brown sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. (At this stage, you should also put the kettle on).
3. Place the golden syrup and plant-based butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
4. Combine the warm water and bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl and stir to combine. Working quickly, add the water mixture to the golden syrup mixture and mix well, then add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
5. Using clean, dry hands, take a large spoonful of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a baking tray and gently flatten with your fingers or a fork or spoon. Repeat with remaining mixture.
6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden and crispy (you can let them bake for a few more minutes if you prefer your biscuits on the crunchier side). Let cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
