Are you looking for a recipe for plant-based vegan Anzac biscuits that make a small batch?
Most biscuit recipes make at least 24. Some make more the 48! way too many for my household of one. This means, sadly, I often don’t bake biscuits.
Small Batch Vegan Anzac Biscuits
However, as many of us are stuck at home and on our own this year, I thought it time to research making a small batch of Anzac biscuits. Twelve was the perfect number for me.
Sweet, oaty and with a bit of crunch, perfect to have with a cuppa and take a movement to reflect on those who have gone before.
This recipe yields 12 beautiful Anzac biscuits that are plant-based and vegan friendly.
I’ve swapped the butter for coconut oil. The result is s slightly more melt in the mouth biscuit than the butter version which has a little more chew.
If you would like to cook along with me, I’ll be making this recipe as part of the City of Charles Sturt’s Anzac Day commemorations at 10.30 am (Australian Central Time) via Zoom.
The event is free, has closed.
