Are Anzac biscuits healthy?
Not really. Anzac biscuits get grade E on the open 2023 Nutri-Score algorithm, the lowest of five — a sometimes food rather than an everyday one.
For
- Fiber: 3.8 g per 100 g, 1 g per serving.
Against
- Sugar: 8.6 g per serving. For scale, the WHO's ideal limit for free sugars (added sugar, plus the sugar in honey, syrups and juice) is 25 g a day.
- Saturated fat: 3.6 g per serving — 18% of the 20 g daily reference intake.
A typical serving (one, 27 g) has 125 kcal, 1.6 g protein, 6 g fat and 17 g carbs. Other weights in the table.
How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on September 30, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.
Anzac biscuits are made from rolled oats, desiccated coconut, flour, butter and golden syrup, with no eggs. They are linked to Anzac Day and baked across Australia and New Zealand.

How we count
Piece weights are averages. Spoons are level US measures: 1 tsp = 4.9 ml, 1 tbsp = 14.8 ml, 1 cup = 240 ml; the weight follows the density of the food (USDA FoodData Central measure weights). The diary uses the same measures — log a portion in pieces, spoons or grams.

A serving (one, 27 g) is 125 kcal — roughly 41 min of easy walking or 16 min of cycling for a 70 kg (154 lb) person. In the diary, minutes are worked out for your weight and the activities you actually do.
Healthier swaps for Anzac Biscuits
Why swap: Anzac biscuits have a lot of sugar (32 g per 100 g), a lot of saturated fat (13 g per 100 g), a fair amount of salt (0.8 g per 100 g). The swaps below fix that at the same calories.
How we pick
A swap is offered only for a real problem with the food (for grades C–E an amber traffic light counts too), from the same or a neighbouring category, in a serving matched to the same calories (±25%; drinks glass for glass) and no more than one and a half times the original weight, a full Nutri-Score grade better and with a noticeable gain per serving. We don't suggest “salad instead of pizza”.
- Plain biscuits — 30 g, 125 kcal: −2.3 g saturated fat.
