For the Anzac layers:

1 cup regular flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup wholegrain rolled oats
1 cup coconut flakes
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
100g chocolate (for drizzling at the end)
For the chocolate layer:
115g butter, roughly chopped
150g chocolate, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sugar
3 free range eggs
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup regular flour
Preheat the oven to 170°C. fan-bake, and line a slice tin with baking paper.
Place the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted then put aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, oats, coconut flakes, baking soda and sea salt. Pour in the melted butter mixture and stir to combine. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the base of your prepared tin, then bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Pop the remaining Anzac mixture in the fridge while you make the chocolate layer.
Place the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted then put aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, cocoa and flour, then pour in the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour over the oat base, then sprinkle the remaining Anzac crumble on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until nicely golden on top.
Allow to cool completely in the tin, before carefully lifting out and transferring to a chopping board. The slice will firm up as it cools.
