Once named ‘Rolled Oat Biscuits’ or ‘Soldiers’ Biscuits’, Anzac biscuits were made by the women back at home for the troops overseas. Even though many variations now exist, sometimes the traditional recipe is all you need.

2. Chocolate caramel Anzac slice

Try this teatime slice based on the classic Anzac biscuit. The crunchy and chewy biscuit of rolled oats, butter and golden syrup is essential Anzac Day fare, but for a delicious twist, this slice recipe combines it with chocolate and caramel.

Even though there's nothing better than a classic Anzac biscuit made right, this creative recipe is a fun twist on the traditional. By adding macadamias and white chocolate, you can take your best Anzac recipe and make it just that little bit better.

8. Chewy chocolate orange Anzac biscuits

These chewy Anzac biscuits offer a zesty spin to the original recipe, as they include two secret ingredients: fresh orange juice and its zest finely grated. Drizzle with melted chocolate to top this tasty recipe off.

9. Coconut Anzac biscuits

You don’t have to give up the soft, syrupy comfort of Anzac biscuits after going vegan, when there are so many equally satisfying plant-based butter substitutes on the market.

12. Easy peasy Anzac slice

Add a few drops of colour to your next Anzac biscuit batch by decorating them with candy coated chocolate buttons before you bake them in the oven. 

14. Fast Ed Anzac pie

This two-for-one dessert is made with an apple and rhubarb pie on the bottom and topped by a traditional Anzac biscuit. It’s a treat to please both pie and biscuit lovers.
