Ingredients
- 180 grams rolled oats
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams desiccated coconut
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 1 tablespoons boiling water
- 100 grams chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-forced) or 350°F. Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm (8 x 12 inch) rectangular baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and desiccated coconut. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup over low heat, stirring regularly until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4
In a small bowl, dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the boiling water. Quickly add this mixture to the melted butter and golden syrup, stirring as it will foam slightly.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix until well combined.
Step 6
Add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract to the mixture, folding gently to distribute the chocolate evenly.
Step 7
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan using the back of a spoon or your hands to level the surface.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment overhang.
Step 10
Cut into 12 squares or bars and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
