Lekker Oat Crunchies

Method

For the Crunchies:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• In a bowl, mix the flour, oats, and coconut together.
• Melt the butter in a small pot, then add the golden syrup and brown sugar. Heat until bubbling.
• When the butter mixture is bubbling, add the bicarbonate of soda and stir through, then remove from heat.
• Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir together by hand.
• Using the back of a metal spoon, gently press the mixture into a greased or lined baking tray (approximately 30 cm x 20 cm or similar, depending on how thick you like the crunchies; a thinner layer will make crisper crunchies and a thicker layer will make them chewier).
• Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C, then turn the oven down to 160°C and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden brown.
• Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
