This is one of my favorite, easy to throw together, nutritious breakfasts! It's colorful and tasty all at the same time. It's one of those recipes that you can take camping, make ahead of time, or throw together quickly when you're in a hurry.

ANZAC biscuits are known for their rich golden syrup flavor, satisfying texture, and meaningful history as they are traditionally associated with World War I and Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand. Ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup shredded or desiccated coconut 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup butter 2 tbsp golden syrup (can substitute with honey) 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp hot water Instructions: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
