Ingredients

Scale
  • 230g butter
  • 1Tbs golden syrup
  • 2 cups of oats
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1tsp bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Mix the flour, oats and coconut in a bowl.

  4. When the butter is bubbling add the bicarb (baking soda) and stir through and remove from the heat.
  5. Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir together by hand.
  6. Using the back of a metal spoon, gently press the crunchie mixture into a greased or lined baking tray – approximately 30cm x 20cm or similar depending on how thick you like the crunchies.
  7. A thinner layer will make the crunchies crispier and a thicker layer will make them chewier.

  9. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
