cornflake slice ingredients: cornflakes, desiccated coconut, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, oats and butter

cornflakes- choose gluten-free corn flakes if you want this slice to be gluten free
desiccated coocnut- helps to make everything stick together
rolled oats- you can switch for quinoa flakes if you are gluten free
cinnamon- works really well to add extra sweetness
butter- I choose unsalted butter, this recipe will also work with coconut oil or copha as a substitution for the butter
honey
brown sugar- this is a recent addition to the recipe and is optional

How to make this recipe

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Heat the butter, honey and brown sugar together in a small pan over medium-low heat, stir, until melted and bubbling.
Add mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a spatula.

Press mixture into a lined slice pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Cool completely (fridge for 2 hours) before slicing into bars or small pieces with a sharp knife.

pressing into the pan, cutting the baked slice

Expert Tips and FAQs

This slice MUST be completely cold before slicing. I refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before cutting. This allows the butter to seize and it helps to keep the slice together. For this purpose it is best stored in the fridge.

How can I store this cornflake slice?

Either slice up and pop in the fridge for the week ahead, or freeze in portions ready for lunchboxes. To do that: freeze until completely solid on a baking tray before transferring to a container or a ziplock bag. It will defrost easily in the lunchbox if you put it in frozen in the morning, even with an ice pack. You can use parchment or baking paper between layers in the fridge.

Why is this slice award winning?

"Just wanted you to know that your Cornflake Honey Slice took the Blue Ribbon in today's Iowa State Fair "Foods Made With Honey" Honey Bar class contest. The "Lamington Tin" had me going only to find out today that a Lamington Tin is a 9 x 13 x 2 baking pan. I ended up using a 8 inch by 8 inch by 2 inch baking pan and baked for 25 minutes. They came out nicely "chewey" but I had to freeze them to sharply cut them with a serrated knife. Judge raved over the flavor and texture. Not bad for the first time I made your Cornflake Honey Slice recipe. Thanks - Ron Marr, Waukee (Des Moines), Iowa "

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius. (355F), 200 conventional.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
55 grams cornflakes, 115 grams desiccated coconut, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Melt together the butter and honey and sugar.
125 grams butter, 175 grams honey, 50 grams brown sugar
Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
Press into a lined lamington tin and bake at 180 degrees celsius for 15-20 minutes
Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Refrigerate before cutting until cold. The butter needs to seize to keep the slice together, or it will fall apart during cutting.
Cut through the middle and then into 20 bars.
Store in the fridge.

Notes

This slice will fall apart if cut warm. Completely cool in the fridge before cutting. The butter will seize and it will hold together.

update: I have added brown sugar to the recipe. It is optional and still works without it.
