Low FODMAP ANZAC Biscuits (No Oats)
These low FODMAP ANZAC biscuits are little gems. They are chunky and chewy with little hints of coconut and sweetness all rolled into a golden biscuit.
They make a lovely afternoon snack with a cup of tea and are so easy to make from pantry staples.
FODMAP note: Golden syrup is low FODMAP in 1 teaspoon serves. That means this recipe is low FODMAP, provided you divide it into the recommended number of biscuits and then only eat 2 biscuits per serve.
Rice flakes note: Rice flakes are used as a gluten free rolled oats substitute and are some times sold as gluten free rice porridge. Rice flakes look like tiny white flat discs. You can usually find these in the health food aisle or gluten free area of the grocery store. You can also swap these for quinoa flakes or rolled oats (if you tolerate them - please note rolled oats are not considered gluten free in NZ or Australia).

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (355ºF) fan bake. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Place the chia seeds into a cup and pour over the hot water. Allow them to soften into a gel.
- Place the butter/dairy free spread and golden syrup in a large bowl and soften slightly in the microwave but do not fully melt. You want the butter/spread just soft enough you can gently push your finger into it.
- Add the sugar to the butter/dairy spread bowl and whisk until fluffy. Then mix through the softened chia seeds.
- Fold through the rice flakes, all purpose flour, coconut, and chopped pumpkin seeds.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water and fold through the mixture.
- Using a heaped tablespoon measure, scoop out the ANZAC biscuits onto the baking tray. Then bake for 10 - 12 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Allow to cool and store in an airtight container. Enjoy up to 2 biscuits per serve.
Buying Tips
Check the mild curry powder does not include onion or garlic powder.
Buy a gluten free plain flour or gluten free all purpose flour. The one we used contains these ingredients: maize starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, rice bran, & guar gum. Avoid flour blends that contain soy flour, chickpea/besan/gram/garbanzo bean flour, lentil flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, or lupin flour.
Golden syrup is low FODMAP in 1 teaspoon serves. Be careful with your serving size as it does become high FODMAP in larger serves. If you are feeling concerned you can swap the golden syrup with pure maple syrup.
Gluten Free Tips
If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check all packaged products, processed meat (like bacon), nuts, seeds and dried fruit do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
Dairy Free Tips
Use a dairy free spread or olive oil spread instead of butter. Butter is considered low FODMAP.
