Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups traditional oats
• 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts (or swap for your favourite nut)
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup wholemeal flour 
• 1/3 cup Extra Virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 tbsp golden syrup

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 160 °C (fan-forced).
• Combine the oats, coconut, macadamia nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl.
• Add the oil and golden syrup and stir to combine.
• Combine the boiling water and the bicarb soda and then add the biscuit mixture and stir until well combined.
• Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes (you can skip this step however it makes it easier to form the mixture into balls).
• Form 1 heaped tbsp of mixture into a ball and place on a lined baking tray, flattening each ball slightly.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until golden, remove from the oven and leave on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
