Ingredients

  • 120 grams flour – all-purpose or cake flour
  • 150 grams whole flaked oats
  • 60 grams of desiccated coconut
  • 35 grams of chia seeds
  • 30 grams of flaxseeds
  • 35 grams of sunflower seeds raw
  • 35 grams of pumpkin seeds raw
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 200 grams salted butter
  • 190 grams of white or light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp golden syrup or corn syrup
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease or line a large 23cm x 33 cm (9 inch x 13 inch) baking tray with parchment paper. This will make a thinner and slightly crispier crunchies. To make thicker, chewier crunchies use a smaller tin or around 30cm x 20cm (or equivalent).
  2. To a large bowl, add the flour, oats, coconut, seeds and salt and give this a good mix.
  3. In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter. Then add the sugar and the golden syrup. Mix until it is well combined and the butter is bubbling. Add the bicarb and stir mix continuously until it foams up into a mallow-like texture.
  4. Immediately pour this into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until all traces of the flour are incorporated.
  5. Decant this into the lined baking sheet and spread out. Press the mixture down to create an even layer.
  6. Put the tray in the oven and then immediately turn the oven down to 160C/320F. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover the tray with foil from about 10 – 13 minutes into the prevent overbrowning. If the crunchies are not golden brown, particularly around the edges, then bake for a few more minutes until they are. To make very crispy crunchies, you will want to bake on the longer side, and for chewier ones, you will bake them on the shorter side.
  7. Remove and allow the tray to cool on a cooling rack.
