Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 20x30cm baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, self-raising flour, and brown sugar.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together. Stir in the baking soda mixed with boiling water (it will bubble up).
- Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Press the mixture into the prepared tray and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the slice to cool completely before cutting it into squares
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- For a healthier option, you can substitute the self-raising flour with wholemeal flour and use coconut oil instead of butter.
- This slice can also be made gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and flour.
