Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter, unsalted
- ½ cup golden syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 1
Set the oven to 350°F and wait for the indicator light to turn off, showing it has finished heating, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, covering the entire flat surface.
- 3
Pour 1.5 cups rolled oats, 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl and stir together until evenly combined.
- 4
Place 0.5 cup butter and 0.5 cup golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts completely and the mixture looks uniform, about 3 minutes.
- 5
Stir 0.5 teaspoon baking soda into the hot butter-syrup mixture (it will fizz); continue stirring for 10 seconds until the fizzing stops.
- 6
Pour the warm butter-syrup mixture into the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until everything is coated and clumpy, like wet sand, about 1 minute.
- 7
Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart (you should have 12 biscuits total), leaving room for them to spread.
- 8
Slide the baking sheets into the preheated 350°F oven and bake until the biscuits are golden brown at the edges but still pale in the center, about 12 minutes.
- 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the pan for 5 minutes without moving them (they will firm up as they cool).
- 10
Lift each biscuit with a metal spatula and transfer to a wire cooling rack or clean plate to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
