Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (150g)
- 1/2 cup plain flour (75g)

Method

Preheat oven to 180 C. Place oats, flour, coconut, cinnamon and brown sugar in a large bowl, stir to combine.

Place golden syrup, oil and 60ml (¼ cup) water in a medium saucepan. Heat, stirring, over a medium heat until all ingredients are well combined. Stir in bicarbonate of soda (mixture will bubble and foam), remove from heat.
