My friend Meredith who gave me the delicious Rich Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe, has also given me a couple other of her favourite recipes to try. On Saturday we tried her Rolled Oat Slice. This is very similar to Anzac slice and will be a great recipe for lunch box treats. I doubled the recipe so there would be enough to last a couple of morning teas during school holidays.
Rolled Oat Slice.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Desiccated Coconut
- 1 cup Self Raising Wholemeal Flour (I didn’t have any so used standard self raising flour and it was fine.)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 125 grams butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 tablespoon boiling water
- 0.5 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Method:
- Preheat oven to a low-med temperature (approx 160).
- Mix together all the dry ingredients – rolled oats, coconut, flour and sugar. If you are doubling the mixture then you need to use a large bowl.
- Chop butter and melt butter with golden syrup on a low heat.
- Add bicarbonate of soda to boiling water and stir.
- Add this liquid to the melted butter and mix.
- Pour butter mixture into the dry ingredients and combine well.
- Press firmly into a lined baking tray.
- Cook for 15 – 20 minutes, until golden on top.
- Allow slice to sit for 10 minutes before removing from tray and placing on cooling rack.
- Allow the slice to cool for at least another 15 minutes before cutting up into fingers.
