Chewy - not too sweet! Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
2 tablespoons golden syrup |
1/2 cup shortening, room temperature |
1 egg, room temperature |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup self-raising flour |
1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal, not instant |
1/2 cup medium shredded unsweetened coconut |
1/2 cup rice krispies |
1/2 cup nuts or 1/2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup other dried fruit or 1/2 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line the bottom and up the sides of a sprayed 9 x 13 baking sheet or pan with parchment paper.
3. Cream together brown sugar, golden syrup and shortening.
4. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
5. Sift in flour, then add oatmeal and coconut. Stir well to combine.
6. Lastly, gently fold in rice krispies and chocolate chips or other additions.
7. Press dough gently (so as not to crush the rice krispies!) into the pan.
8. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until light golden brown. Do not overbake.
9. Carefully remove from the pan in one piece and use a pizza cutter to cut into bars or cut while in the pan (may wreck the non stick coating though!).
10. Cool on a wire rack.
