Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup desiccated coconut, 1 cup plain flour, and 1 cup packed brown sugar.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, melt 100 g unsalted butter with 3/4 cup golden syrup over low heat, stirring until smooth.

  4. Step 4: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
