Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan / gas mark 4 / 350F.
Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a large heavy based pan on the hob, over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
When the butter has completely melted, turn the heat off and add the oats, flour and coconut. Stir to combine the wet and dry ingredients thoroughly.

Bake in your preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cut into 16 squares whilst still hot, then allow to cool.

Delicious served on their own, or as a pudding with custard whilst still warm.
