Ingredients
- 250 g rolled oats gluten-free
- 125 g butter (or dairy-free margarine for a dairy-free option)
- 125 g brown sugar
- 50 g golden syrup
- 1/2 tsp baking powder gluten-free
- 100 g flour gluten-free self-raising
- 50 g coconut desiccated
- 50 g dried fruit (optional)(e.g., raisins, cranberries, or apricots), chopped
- 25 g chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with a little butter or oil.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter (or dairy-free margarine), brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free self-raising flour, gluten-free baking powder, desiccated coconut, dried fruit, chopped nuts (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the melted butter, sugar, and golden syrup mixture over the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and mix everything together until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it's evenly spread and well compacted.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, cut the oat crunchie into squares or bars.Enjoy your gluten-free oat crunchies!Please note that gluten-free ingredients can vary in texture and performance, so you may need to adjust the recipe slightly based on the specific brands and products you use.
