I love Anzac biscuits. I came across this recipe in the Super Food Ideas Magazine that was screaming out at me to be converted to be made in the Thermomix. It is gluten free with quinoa flakes (so that must make them healthy right?). They were worth making as they made my house smell divine! They were very yummy and even tastier the next day too!

How can this be gluten free with SR flour in it ???
Hi Tracy – you can buy gluten free self raising flour. 🙂
The flakes are made by soaking and steaming the grain. It’s then rolled through a mill. You could try cooking the quinoa and letting it dry a little. Leave out the hot water to allow for the extra moisture.
Silly question but is there a diference between quinoa & quinoa flakes? Thanks
Hi Glenda – yes there is a difference. I think the flakes are processed very differently – similar to rolled oats I think. For this recipe I would only use the flakes.
Good morning, I’m really keen to make these but only have whole quinoa, not the flakes. Can I give them a whizz in the thermomix? Any suggestions appreciated.
Hi Laura – if you blitz whole quinoa you will just get flour. And if you only blitz it a small amount it will be hard and gritty and also quite bitter. I really think it would be best if you bought the flakes.
Hi beautiful thermo fun, I am planning on making these for tomorrow but am not allowed to use any gf flours, could I sub for coconut or almond meal?
Hi Rhoda, yes I would think that would be fine using meal. I’ll be keen to know how they go. 🙂
