As a culinary enthusiast, I’ve always been fascinated by the unique combination of ingredients that create a symphony of taste. This recipe is no exception. The tangy lemons paired with the subtle sweetness of coconut and the wholesome goodness of oats make this slice a standout. I assure you, I’ll make this recipe easy to follow, and once you try it, you’ll be convinced of its uniqueness.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups wholegrain or jumbo oats (not the quick-cook kind)
- 1½ cups desiccated coconut
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 7 oz coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup runny honey or golden syrup
- 2 eggs
- Finely grated zest of 3 lemons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 338°F and line a 9×13 inch slice tin with baking paper, leaving a generous overhang at each end.
- Combine the oats, coconut, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or golden syrup, eggs, and lemon zest until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. The mixture will seem quite wet.
- Press the mixture evenly and firmly into the base of the prepared tin, then bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely in the tin.
Lemon and Coconut Icing
- 1 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, at room temperature
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ cup coconut chips or thread coconut, toasted
Instructions
- Combine the icing sugar, coconut oil, and 2 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Add more lemon juice if the icing is too stiff – it should drizzle off your spoon in a smooth ribbon.
- Transfer the icing to a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle (or into a sealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off).
- Drizzle icing over the cold slice then sprinkle with coconut. Allow to set then cut into pieces.
