Curious about its name, I Googled “Anzac Biscuits”. Anzac is actually an acronym of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The biscuits were sent by wives and women’s groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation (wiki). The Chocolate Anzac Biscuits in the recipe below are made from Green Banana Flour & Rolled Oats. Thus, gluten-free.
