Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 tbsp (90 ml) unsalted butter (3 oz)
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour (8 oz)
- 1 cup (240 ml) oats (8 oz)
- 1 cup (240 ml) brown sugar (8 oz)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) golden syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened desiccated coconut (8 oz)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the golden syrup and baking soda, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, salt, and desiccated coconut. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture should be moist and hold together when pressed.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. For a chewier texture, bake for the shorter time; for a crisper biscuit, bake a little longer.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a chewier texture, bake for a shorter time; for a crisper biscuit, bake a little longer.
- You can adjust the thickness of the biscuits to your preference before baking.
