Simple, satisfying, and utterly scrumptious, the One Cup Slice is the ultimate quick-bake recipe for busy days or last-minute cravings. Made with just a handful of pantry staples—including self-raising flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, and chocolate chips—this treat gets its name from the convenient "one cup" measurements, making preparation a breeze. A rich blend of melted butter, a hint of vanilla, and a single egg ties everything together for a perfectly chewy, golden slice that’s ready in just 35 minutes. Perfect for lunchbox treats, afternoon tea, or indulgent snacking, this versatile slice is best enjoyed fresh or stored in an airtight container for a grab-and-go delight throughout the week.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin (approximately 20cm x 20cm) with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until well-combined and a thick, sticky mixture forms.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin and press it down evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the tin before cutting into 12 squares or bars.
Serve as is, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
