Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/ gas 3. Mix the rolled oats, flours and sugars with a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Put the oil and golden syrup in a large pan set over a medium heat and melt together. Remove from the heat.
  3. Mix the bicarbonate of soda and boiling water in a small dish, tip into the warm oil/syrup and stir to combine – it will froth up. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.
  4. Roll spoonfuls of the dough into walnut-size balls. Space them roughly 5cm apart on the prepared baking trays and flatten slightly with the heel of your hand.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave on the baking trays for 5-6 minutes to firm up a little. Loosen with a palette knife, transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool (see Make Ahead).
  6. Once cooled, spoon a little melted dark chocolate over each biscuit and spread with the back of a spoon, or use a knife or fork to create a ridged pattern (see tip).
