Heat oven to 350\u00b0F Put the oats, coconut, flour and sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the syrup.
Add the bicarbonate of soda to 2 tbsp boiling water, then stir into the syrup and butter mixture.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the butter and syrup mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the dry ingredients.
Put dessertspoonfuls of the mixture on to buttered baking sheets, about 1in apart to allow room for spreading.
