Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams plain flour
- 80 grams desiccated coconut
- 120 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts), finely chopped
- 100 grams butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and chopped nuts.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup over low heat until smooth and well combined. Remove from the heat.
In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water, then quickly pour it into the warm butter and syrup mixture. The mixture will foam up slightly.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until thoroughly combined.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they can brown quickly.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
