Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup quick cook oats
  • ½ cup AP flour
  • 60 g butter 4½ Tbs
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda baking soda
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut or shredded, sweetened
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbs Golden Syrup or use light corn syrup, cane syrup, and honey in a 2:1:1 ratio
  • 1 Tbs cold water

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Trays
  • Medium Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 160℃/140℃ Fan-forced (325℉) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, flour, and sugar. Make a well in the center and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat butter, syrup, and water over medium heat until all the butter is melted and just starting to bubble.
  4. Add in the soda. It will foam up considerably so give it a gentle stir.
  5. Pour the butter mixture into the well of the dry ingredients and stir gently until completely combined.
  6. Roll into 2 tsp balls and place on baking trays 4cm (1½ “) apart. Using a fork, gently flatten the balls a little.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  8. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.
