Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Coconut flakes
- 125 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons Boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and coconut flakes. Mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together, stirring until fully combined.
In a small heatproof bowl, dissolve the baking soda in boiling water.
Quickly add the baking soda mixture to the butter and syrup mixture. It will foam up slightly; this is normal.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving room for spreading, and gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Perfect to take on outdoor adventures or enjoy with a cup of tea!
