Love Anzac biscuits?  Try them in slice form!  This Anzac slice is soft and chewy with the same signature buttery and caramel flavour we've come to love from Anzac biscuits.  It's super easy to prepare with pantry staples like oats, flour and golden syrup.

If you love Chewy Anzac Biscuits you're going to adore this Anzac Slice.  It has the same soft and chewy texture we know and love from the biscuits and is a perfect sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Save yourself the hassle of rolling out balls of mixture into biscuits and instead pour it into a slice pan, press down and bake.  Simple!

One thing I love about this slice is you can cut it into smaller squares to make it go further.  Great for sharing with a group, or even stashing away in the freezer for lunchboxes.

INGREDIENTS

ingredients for anzac slice on a wooden board.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this slice (measurements listed in the full recipe card at the bottom of this post)…

  • Rolled Oats / Old Fashioned Oats
  • Plain / All Purpose Flour
  • Brown Sugar
  • Desiccated Coconut / Finely Shredded Coconut
  • Butter
  • Golden Syrup
  • Bicarb Soda
  • Water - you'll already have this on tap (pun intended) but I'll pop it in the ingredients list nonetheless.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat – Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F (standard) OR 160C / 320F (fan-forced), and grease a standard slice pan.

Mix the dry ingredients – Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a mixing bowl.

Mix the wet ingredients – Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir for 2 minutes, or until the butter has melted.  Remove the saucepan from the heat.  Mix bicarb with the 2 tablespoon of warm water, then add to the saucepan.  The butter will appear frothy – this is good.  No cause for alarm.

TOP TIPS

  • Use a 28 x 18cm / 7″ x 11″ slice pan for this recipe.  If you don't have one, a standard square cake pan will also work.
  • If you can’t find desiccated coconut or finely shredded coconut, you can substitute for shredded coconut.
  • Monitor the slice closely as it bakes.  It's ready when the colour has changed to golden brown.
  • Store leftover slice in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • The slice can also be frozen.  Once cooled completely, move to an airtight container or ziplock bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/ OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐 I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired. This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own. The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour. It's on the table in 15 minutes. Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta. Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe

This is the recipe I have been searching for! Perfectly chewy but not so much it glues your teeth together. Sweet but not overly so. Freezes amazingly though I would recommend placing baking paper between layers. Kids love it in their lunchboxes!
