3. Choc Chip Montes

Use the same recipe as above – omitting the filling and jam.
Add a cup of choc chips after sifting dry ingredients and leave as single biscuits. Great for kids lunch boxes!! :)

This is an old recipe of my grandmother’s and a real family favourite either with the filling, or the choc chips.

Enjoy! :)

Being an aussie this recipe just had to be my first entry on this goal :)

Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 teaspoon bicarb. soda
2 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 cup butter (melted).

Method:
Preheat oven at 160c.
Mix oats, sugar and flour.
Mix golden syrup, soda and boiling water. While frothing add melted butter and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
Drop spoonfuls onto try (allow room for them to spread).
Bake for approx. 20 mins.

My children love to eat these warm straight out of the oven. Personally I love them most when they are hard and very crunchy.

Enjoy :)
