How to Make Condensed Milk Anzac Biscuit Slab
- Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan). Line a slab tray with parchment, leaving extra overhang for easy slab removal. - Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, and coconut. Your kitchen already smells cozy at this point! - Melt Sweet Base
Melt butter, condensed milk, and golden syrup together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring regularly so it doesn’t stick. - Activate the Soda
Remove from heat. Dissolve baking soda in the boiling water, then whisk it into the sweet mixture. You’ll see it foam up—fun and necessary! - Combine & Bake
Pour the warm base into your bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well coated. Transfer and press into your lined tray evenly. Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden at the edges. - Cool & Slice
Remove from oven, cool completely in the tray (ideally refrigerate 1 hr), then lift via parchment and slice into bars.
What to Serve with Condensed Milk Anzac Biscuit Slab
- A big mug of strong coffee or black tea to match the sweetness
