Ingredients:
1 cup rolled Uncle Toby’s oats
1 cup plain flour
½ cup desiccated coconut 
125g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Method:
Preheat oven to 160°C.
Grease two oven trays and line them with baking paper.
Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut.
Stir butter, syrup, and water in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth, then add the bicarbonate of soda.
Stir wet mixture into dry mixture until well-combined.
Spoon level teaspoons of the combined mixture onto baking trays, flattening slightly and leaving about three inches of space between each.
Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool.
