Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Desiccated coconut
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Vegan butter or margarine
• 2 tablespoons Golden syrup or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Boiling water
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the vegan butter or margarine with the golden syrup or maple syrup, stirring occasionally until smooth.

Step 4

In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Add this mixture to the melted vegan butter and syrup mixture, and stir well. The mixture will foam up slightly.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until you have a consistent dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon amount, roll portions of the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each for spreading.

Step 7

Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking trays for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, the biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
