There’s something timeless about an ANZAC biscuit.
It’s the kind of recipe that has been passed down through generations — simple ingredients, a one-bowl method, and a result that feels both comforting and deeply satisfying.
But like many classic recipes, there’s always room to make it your own.
At Adelia Fine Foods, we’re always looking for ways to bring a little more nourishment and flavour into everyday moments. This version of ANZAC biscuits does exactly that — by incorporating our Seed & Nut Muesli for added texture, richness, and a subtle nutty depth.
The result is a biscuit that still feels familiar… just elevated.
Why you’ll love this version:
- More texture: The seeds and nuts create a satisfying crunch and chew
- Naturally nourishing: Packed with wholefood ingredients
- Simple to make: One bowl, no fuss
- Perfect for sharing: Great for lunchboxes, afternoon tea, or gifting
The recipe
Adelia Seed & Nut ANZAC Biscuits
Ingredients
4 cups Adelia Fine Foods Seed & Nut Muesli
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup melted coconut oil
½ cup rice malt syrup or honey
2 tablespoon warm water
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C
2. Blend 1 ½ cups of the muesli in a blender into a fine ‘muesli flour’
3. Add muesli flour, 2 ½ cups remaining muesli, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix
4. In a separate small bowl, add the melted coconut oil, honey or rice malt syrup and water and mix
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry bowl and with a large spoon mix until well combined
6. Scoop a heaped tablespoon (or you can also use a cookie scooper) of the mixture into one of your hands and press into a ball shape using both hands. It helps if your hands are wet.
*Note, if the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or additional coconut oil.
7. Add the balls to a baking tray lined with baking paper, making sure to leave some gaps in between
8. Using wet fingers and hands, gently flatten each ball into a round biscuit shape.
9. Put in the oven for 10 minutes for a softer biscuit or up to 15 minutes for a crunchy biscuit.
10. Rest biscuits on the tray for 5 minutes then on a cooling rack for an extra 5 minutes and enjoy your Adelia Anzac biscuits!
Makes 12-18 (depending on the size).
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Tips for the perfect ANZAC biscuit:
- For a chewier biscuit, reduce bake time slightly
- For a crispier finish, leave them in a little longer
- Let them rest on the tray before moving — they firm up as they cool
How to enjoy:
These biscuits are incredibly versatile.
Enjoy them:
- With a cup of tea on a quiet afternoon
- Warm, straight from the oven (hard to beat)
- Packed into lunchboxes
- As a simple, homemade gift
Or even crumbled over yoghurt for a little extra crunch.
A note on simple rituals:
