Oat slice

I experimented with an altered ANZAC slice recipe today and it turned out well. I halved the sugar of the original recipe and added some pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries to boost the fibre.

Ingredients

1.25 cups plain flour

1.25 cups oats

1/2 cup coconut

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup boiling water

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

150g butter (I used Lurpak lighter)

2 tablespoons golden syrup

1. Melt butter, sugar and golden syrup in a small saucepan

2. Combine flour, oats, coconut, pumpkin seeds and cranberries in a mixing bowl

3. Pour boiling water over baking soda then add to the butter mixture and combine with the dry ingredients.

4. Spread into a 20cm pan lined with baking paper.

5. Bake at approx 180 Celsius for around 30 mins.

I cut it into 24 pieces - this type of thing normally lasts well in an airtight container.
