Anzac Day (25 April) is the day we remember and honour all the service men and women who sacrificed their today for our tomorrows. Anzac biscuits have become a popular tradition for us kiwis, as these were known to be sent to soldiers abroad during the war thanks to their long shelf life.
I love baking Anzac biscuits for the whole family, especially my healthier version! They’re full of oats, which are incredibly nutritious and rich in fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
