Ingredients

  • 220 g unsalted butter
  • 220 g brown sugar
  • 100 g honey
  • 400 g rolled oats
  • 40 g desiccated coconut
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F). Line two lamington pans with baking paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, honey, and brown sugar, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in rolled oats, desiccated coconut, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pans using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 bars.

Notes

  • For chewier bars, avoid overbaking and allow them to cool fully before slicing.
  • Use a smaller pan for thicker bars, adjusting baking time accordingly.
  • Add dried fruit, seeds, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
  • Great for meal prep—freeze in layers separated by baking paper.
  • Press mixture firmly into the pan to help the bars hold their shape.
