Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar.
Melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring gently until well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with the water, then add this mixture to the melted butter and syrup. The mixture will foam up slightly.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated.
Take tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each to allow for spreading.
Gently press each ball down with a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
