Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 & 1/4 cups Plain Flour (190 grams)
  • 1 & 1/4 cups Rolled Oats (140g grams)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar (160 grams)
  • 1 cup Desiccated Coconut (85 grams)
  • 150 grams Butter (chopped into pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 150 grams chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a slice tin (approx 28cm x 18cm) with baking paper. Make sure you leave some paper hanging over the edges to help you remove the slice from the tin later.
  • In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, oats, brown sugar and coconut and make a well in the centre - this is a great step for the kids to help you with.
  • Chop the butter into pieces and place it along with the golden syrup into a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 second spurts until the butter has just melted. Stir to combine and set aside until needed.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the bicarbonate of soda and hot water and then carefully add to the bowl with the melted butter and golden syrup. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and use a large metal spoon to mix until it’s just about combined - a metal spoon is best as the mixture doesn’t stick to it as much as a wooden spoon.
  • Add the chocolate chips and working quickly, mix through.
  • Pour the slice into your prepared pan and using the back of a spoon, press the mixture evenly into slice tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until the slice is golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the slice from the oven and allow it to completely cool in the tray.
  • Use the overhanging baking paper to remove the slice from the tin and cut into squares to serve.
