Ayeh let the syrup and butter melt down before she added a dash of baking soda and water to the pot, then mixed the golden liquid together.

Next she added one cup of rolled oats, one and a quarter cups of flour and half a cup of caster sugar into a large bowl.

She added three quarter cups of coconut into the bowl and mixed the dry ingredients together, then poured the golden syrup mixture into the bowl.  

Ayeh poured the liquid mixture into a bowl with flour, sugar, rolled oats and coconut, then combined the dough and formed it into balls then flattened them out onto a baking tray 

Ayeh did one final mix to incorporate the ingredients, then rolled the dough into balls and flattened them out on a tray lined with baking paper.

She baked them in her oven for 15 minutes, for an extra crunchy biscuit, but suggests to those who like the Anzac treats chewy to only cook them for 12 minutes.

The home cook posted her easy-to-follow recipe to TikTok where it received 35,000 views in just 15 hours and many comments from impressed foodies.
