☕ Simple Anzac Biscuits — Built for a Better Coffee
There’s no need to overcomplicate good coffee.
At Bay Beans, we focus on sourcing and roasting quality green beans so you get a clean, consistent cup—whether you’re running a café, stocking the office, or brewing at home. And when the coffee’s right, the food beside it should follow the same rule: simple, honest, and done well.
That’s where these classic Anzac biscuits come in.
They’re reliable, made from pantry staples, and most importantly—they actually complement coffee instead of competing with it.

Why These Work With Coffee
A lot of biscuits are too sweet or too heavy. These aren’t.
- The golden syrup brings a light caramel note that works with espresso
- The oats and coconut give structure (they won’t collapse when dunked)
- The sweetness is balanced, so your coffee still leads
Whether you’re pouring a flat white or pulling a short black, they sit exactly where they should—supporting, not dominating.
---
Ingredients (Makes ~20)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup plain flour
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup sugar
- 125g butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp boiling water
No shortcuts, no substitutes needed.
---
Method
1. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan-forced)
2. Combine oats, flour, coconut, and sugar in a bowl
3. Melt butter and golden syrup together
4. Mix bicarbonate of soda with boiling water, then add to the butter mixture
5. Pour wet into dry and mix well
6. Roll into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a lined tray
7. Flatten slightly
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden
Let them cool properly—they firm up as they set.
---
Getting the Texture Right
- Slightly underbaked = chewier centre
- Full bake = classic crunch
If you’re serving customers, consistency matters. Pick a style and stick to it.
---
Coffee Pairing
This is where it matters.
- Espresso / Long Black → cuts through the sweetness cleanly
- Flat White / Latte → rounds out the butter and caramel notes
- Batch brew / filter → highlights the oat character
A well-roasted medium profile from Bay Beans will sit right in the pocket here—balanced, no bitterness, no distractions.
---
A Practical Note
If you’re running a café or supplying an office, these are worth keeping in rotation:
- Low cost per unit
- Long shelf life
- Familiar (they sell themselves)
- Consistent with minimal effort
Good margins, no fuss.
---
Final Word
Good coffee doesn’t need gimmicks.
Pair it with something simple, made properly, and let the quality speak for itself.
That’s the Bay Beans approach.
