Crunchies are a classic South African snack cake, made by mixing oats and desiccated coconut into butter melted with syrup, pressing the mixture into a tray and baking it. Pressing the mixture firmly into the tray is what lets it hold together in neat slices once cooled. Made from simple ingredients, it's a budget-friendly option for packing into a lunchbox.
Mix the oats, sugar, desiccated coconut, flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.
Melt the butter with the grape molasses in a pan over low heat.
Stir the melted mixture into the dry ingredients until well combined, then press firmly into a lined tray.
Bake in the oven preheated to 170°C for 20 minutes until the top turns golden.
Let the tray cool completely on the counter, then cut into even slices.
Press the mixture firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon; a loosely packed mixture falls apart when sliced. Allergens: contains gluten (flour) and milk and dairy (butter).
Don't slice the tray before it has cooled completely to room temperature; cutting it warm makes the crunchies crumble.
