Makes about 28
Preparation: 15 min
Microwave: about 10 min
25 ml (5 t) golden syrup
200 ml margarine
500 ml (2 c) oats
250 ml (1 c) desiccated coconut
250 ml (1 c) cake flour
250 ml (1 c) sugar
60 ml (¼ c) mixed seeds and nuts or breakfast seed mix
125 ml (½ c) dried cranberries or chopped dates
1 Grease 4 x 10 cm square glass dishes with non-stick spray.
2 Microwave the syrup and margarine in a glass bowl for 2 minutes or until the margarine has melted. Mix the remaining ingredients and add to the syrup mixture.
3 Spoon the mixture into the prepared dishes.
4 Microwave each batch on 100 per cent power for 2-2½ minutes or until firm and
golden. Don’t overcook – the oat squares cook from the inside and will burn in the middle first.
6 Leave to cool completely, cut into squares and store in airtight containers. They’ll keep for about a month.
