Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/4 cup plain wholemeal flour
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup
  • 1/4 cup canola or rice bran oil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine oats, flours, coconut and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Combine golden syrup, oil and water in a microwave-proof bowl and stir to combine. Microwave on HIGH for 25–30 seconds. Whisk in baking soda until well combined (it might foam up a little).
