Ingredients

• 90 grams rolled oats
• 50 grams desiccated coconut
• 125 grams plain (all-purpose) flour
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 40 grams reduced-fat margarine
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, plain flour, and brown sugar.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, add the honey and reduced-fat margarine. Stir occasionally until the margarine is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the baking soda and boiling water, stirring until the baking soda is dissolved.

Step 5

Pour the baking soda mixture into the melted margarine and honey mixture, then stir to combine. The mixture will froth up slightly.

Step 6

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir until well combined.

Step 7

Take small amounts of the mixture and roll it into walnut-sized balls, then place them on the lined baking trays. Flatten them slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. They will still be soft when done, but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Store the biscuits in an airtight container for up to a week.
