Description
A thick, chewy, and golden traybake version of the classic Australian ANZAC biscuit made extra decadent with sweetened condensed milk.
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup brown sugar
150g unsalted butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan-forced) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, coconut, and brown sugar until well combined.
Step 3: Melt the butter, golden syrup, and condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
Step 4: Mix the baking soda with boiling water and stir it into the butter mixture until it froths.
Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Step 6: Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Allow the slab to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Ensure you use rolled oats rather than quick oats for the best texture. Golden syrup is the traditional choice, but honey can be used in a pinch.
