Ingredients

• 100 grams rolled oats
• 100 grams plain flour
• 80 grams desiccated coconut
• 120 grams brown sugar
• 50 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts), finely chopped
• 100 grams butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and chopped nuts.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup over low heat until smooth and well combined. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water, then quickly pour it into the warm butter and syrup mixture. The mixture will foam up slightly.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until thoroughly combined.

Step 6

Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each to allow 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 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they can brown quickly.

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 in an airtight container for up to a week and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
