3 cups barley and oats * (I used the “Goodness Superfoods Quick Sachets")
1.5 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup caster sugar
2 tbs golden syrup
250g coconut oil
** If you can’t find a pre mixed barley and oat breakfast cereal use 1.5 cups each of rolled barley and rolled oats - this is a far more economical option
Method
Pre heat oven 180°c / 355°f
Cooking time is 30mins – 50mins depending on how crunchy you like it
If using the sachets, it works out to be 7 packets. Pour into a large bowl
Add the sifted flour, baking powder, sugar
Gently melt the coconut oil and golden syrup either in a microwave for 15 sec or on the stove
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well
Depending on the size of your pan or pans, press the mixture firmly till it is about 2cm deep. Use the base of a glass to get it flat.
Cook for 25 mins then remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 mins.
Turn out onto a large baking tray and cut the large slab into ‘bar size’ sections – From my square tins, I cut the slab in half and then cut 5 fingers from each half.
Place the bars back in the oven and cook for another 20 minutes.
