Oats Crunchies with a Chocolate Twist
Everyone loves an oat crunchie, but we’re adding a chocolaty twist with NESTLÉ
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (68g) cake flour
- 3 tbsp NESTLÉ Cocoa Powder
- 2 cups (312g) oats
- 1 cup (70g) desiccated coconut
- ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup (160g) margarine
- 1½ tbsp honey
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
How To Make
- Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a large, 23x23cm baking dish with baking paper that is slightly hanging over the sides of the dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the cake flour, NESTLÉ Cocoa Powder, oats, desiccated coconut and sugar and mix until well combined.
- Melt the margarine and honey together in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Stir until combined and add in the bicarbonate of soda.
- Pour the melted margarine mixture over the oat mixture and using a spatula, mix until well combined.
- Turn the chocolate crunchie mixture out into the baking dish and spread it evenly across the dish until it is about 2cm thick.
- Bake the chocolate crunchies for 20-25 minutes or until they are slightly darker in colour.
- Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before lifting the crunchies out of the baking dish and placing them on a cutting board, using the baking paper to assist.
- *Chef’s Tip: The crunchies will harden and get crispy as they set!
- Slice the crunchies into 45 evenly sized squares and pack them onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Arrange the chocolate crunchies on a plate, serve and ENJOY!
- *Chef’s Tip: These crunchies make the perfect gift! Wrap them in wax paper and pack into a jar!
