Anzac biscuit flavours

Start with a base

Start with a good base recipe and you're well on your way to success. Here are some of our best Anzac biscuit recipes:

Dried cranberries
Dried apricots

Add toasted nuts

Throw in a handful of toasted and chopped nuts when you add the rolled oats for extra texture and flavour. By toasting the nuts first, you'll bring out their flavour and give them an extra bit of bite. Some of the best nuts to include are:

Walnuts
Almonds
Pecans
Macadamias

Add chocolate

Milk chocolate chunks
White chocolate chips
