How to make a delicious, chewy Anzac biscuit slice

This chewy coconut and oat slice is sweet, golden and full of flavour. Made with sunflower oil instead of butter, it has a softer texture and stays nicely moist. It is quick to mix, easy to bake, and great for lunchboxes, sharing, or a simple weekend treat.

Ingredients
  • 200g rolled oats
  • 190g plain flour
  • 130g brown sugar
  • 90g coconut thread
  • 40g mixed sunflower and pumpkin seeds
  • A pinch of salt
  • 300g sweetened condensed milk
  • 90ml golden syrup
  • 120ml The Good Oil Extra Virgin Sunflower Oil
  • ¾ tsp baking soda, dissolved in 3 Tbsp boiling water
Method
  • Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 20 x 30 cm tin with baking paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
  • In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, coconut, seeds and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and free of lumps.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the condensed milk, golden syrup and oil until smooth. Remove from heat, add the dissolved baking soda, and stir quickly – the mixture will foam slightly.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be thick and clump together. Transfer to the prepared tin and press firmly and evenly into the base using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden and the centre is set. Avoid overbaking to keep the slice from crumbling. Allow to cool in the tin before lifting out and slicing.
