To be honest I am not sure who the original creator of the recipe is. All I know is that it is delicious and we can tweak it to our own taste.
Simple Oat Crunchies
This Simple Oat Crunchies recipe is an original recipe I found on google and I tweaked it just a little. This is a fairly easy recipe and it turns out amazingly crisp, buttery and it’s so good. Almost addictive, as once you take that first bite you definitely will want to reach for more. Certainly a keeper in our home. As you all know I love recipes with minimal effort and this recipe is exactly that. Everything literally gets popped into one bowl, how easy is that?
What ingredients do I need?
Cake Wheat Flour, Oats, Coconut, Golden Syrup, Sugar, Butter, Bicarbonate of Soda. Simple ingredients that can easily be found in our pantry.
Easy to make
Basically the dry ingredients gets mixed in one bowl. You melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Press it into a baking pan and pop in the oven. How easy is that. Once out the oven you cut them into squares and you have a delicious snack, that your kids will love too.
Baking the Oat Crunchies
I usually bake my crunchies at 160 degrees celsius for 30 minutes until golden brown. The time depends on how thick or thin you make your crunchies. I pressed mine down to about a 30cm x 20cm size. You welcome to make them thicker if you prefer. If you want a little chewy texture you can remove from the oven 5 minutes earlier. The crunchies are best cut when slightly warm. I find that once it cools down completely it makes it a bit more difficult to cut.
Some Tips:
For this recipe I increased the amount of coconut and reduced the amount of oats for extra crunchiness. The thinner the crunchies the more crispy they are. If they are slightly thick they are a little more chewy. For extra chewiness you can replace the granulated sugar with brown sugar. You can bake them in the oven for longer if you want crispy or reduce the baking time if you prefer softer. If you don’t like too much crunch then I suggest you reduce the coconut by half cup and add an extra half cup oats.
