Ingredients

• 8 oz 250g butter or margarine
• 3/4 cup syrup or honey
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups oats
• 2 cups rice crispies
• 3/4 cup coconut
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup sifted flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F (180 degrees C)
• In a large pot melt margarine, syrup and sugar over medium heat.
• Add vanilla and stir well. Remove from heat.
• Add oats, rice crispies, coconut, salt, flour and baking powder.
• Mix well.
• Place mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
• Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray. I find the easiest way to do this is by dipping my hands in water and pressing the mixture until it is flat.
• Bake at 350 F (180 deg. C) for 20 -25 minutes until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and while still hot cut into squares. They will become harder and crispier while cooling on a rack.
