rolled oats | Lona's in the kitchen

How about a semi healthy slice to go with your cup of tea…….

Melt 125g butter with 1 tablespoon honey.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup rolled oats, 2/3 cup sultanas, 1/2 cup coconut, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, 2 tablespoons linseed, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup self raising flour.

Pour in the butter honey mix and stir it well until everything is really well mixed.

Press into a 23cm square tin (which you’ve lined with greaseproof paper), sprinkle with 1/4 cup choc chips, and bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown.

Cool completely in tin before cutting into whatever size slices you like.

No nuts so it makes a great lunch box treat.

Yessiree, he sure does.

The perfect biscuit too…

1 cup flour plain flour, desiccated coconut, rolled oats, white sugar.

125g butter, 1 tablespoon golden syrup, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda.

In a bowl, mix together flour, coconut, oats and sugar. In a small saucepan, gently heat water butter and syrup until butter has melted. Stir in the bicarb. It will bubble and froth. (Really cool) Pour melted, frothy stuff into the dry stuff and mix really well. Roll onto walnut sized balls and place on baking paper covered baking trays, leaving enough room for spreading. Flatten with the bottom of a glass and bake in a 150C oven for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.

Enjoy with a cup of your favourite tea.
