Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain wholemeal flour (sifted, with the husks added back in)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two trays with baking paper.
2. Combine the flour, coconut, oats and sugar in a large bowl.
3. In a small saucepan mix together the butter and syrup until frothy. Combine the water and bicarbonate of soda and add the liquid mixture.
4. Quickly add to the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Roll heaped teaspoons of mixture into balls and flatten slightly. Place on the lined trays, allowing a bit of room for spreading.

Note

Low/Moderate Salicylates, Low/Moderate Amines, Low Glutamates

Barley malt syrup isn't in the RPAH Elimination Diet handbook, but I suspect it contains amines, as it is made using a process that feeds into making malt vinegar, which is moderate in amines.  If you're able to have amines, this may be worth trying as a challenge.  If you are going to try it, use the Spiral Foods Organic Barley Malt; Ceres Organic also has it, but it contains lemon juice.   Use Golden Syrup as a substitute, but you may like to add a bit more sugar as it is not as sweet.

Coconuts contain moderate amines and salicylates.  If you can't use coconut just substitute for extra rolled oats.  Refer here for making fresh grated coconut.
