Step 1

Preheat – Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F (standard) OR 160C / 320F (fan-forced), and grease a standard slice pan.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients – Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mix the wet ingredients – Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir for 2 minutes, or until the butter has melted.  Remove the saucepan from the heat.  Mix bicarb with the 2 tablespoon of warm water, then add to the saucepan.  The butter will appear frothy – this is good.  No cause for alarm.

Step 4

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together – Pour the wet ingredients into the mixing bowl and stir to combine.  Pour the mixture into the prepared slice pan and press down firmly.

Step 5

Bake - Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.  Leave in the pan to cool, then slice and serve.
