Basic Vegan Anzac Biscuits

1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup raw sugar
1 cup plain flour, sifted
125 g vegan margarine (we like Nuttelex)
2 Tbsp golden syrup
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
3 Tbsp boiling water

Preheat the oven to 180° (160° for fan-assisted ovens).
Place the oats, coconut, sugar and flour in a bowl and stir to combine.
Melt the vegan margarine and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat.
In a separate bowl, combine the bicarb soda and boiling water, then add to the margarine-syrup mixture.
The liquid will froth and increase in volume. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Roll the mixture into 12 balls and place on a lined or non-stick baking tray.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy!
