    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    Here's why it's so popular:

    • Quick & easy - it takes just 10 minutes prep time and 20 minutes baking time to make this crunchy Honey Cornflake Slice!
    • Budget-friendly - made using just a handful of pantry staple ingredients, there's no need to make an extra trip to the supermarket.
    • Popular with kids - this yummy baked Corn Flake Slice gets the tick of approval from kids! They absolutely love the sweet honey flavour of the slice.
    • Egg-free recipe (plus dairy-free and gluten-free options) - catering to allergies or food intolerances? This cornflake slice recipe contains NO eggs, making it a great option for those looking for egg-free baking recipes. Plus, this recipe can easily be modified to be dairy-free or gluten-free (see my substitution suggestions in the FAQ's below).
    • Conventional and Thermomix - you will find both methods in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    What You Need

    My easy Corn Flake Slice recipe is made using just 7 basic ingredients (...and you might just already have them at home!)

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    The ingredients for cornflake slice.
    • Corn Flakes - you can use Kellogg's branded Corn Flakes or any generic brand for this recipe.
    • Rolled oats - you can use either regular old fashioned rolled oats or quick oats for this recipe. I like to use rolled oats as they give the slice a yummy chewy texture.
    • Desiccated coconut - this is fine, dried coconut.
    • Caster sugar - also known as superfine sugar, this variety of sugar is perfect for baking as it dissolves easily.
    • Butter - use salted or unsalted butter. For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the butter for Nuttelex or a similar dairy-free spread.
    • Honey - use regular honey or substitute for rice malt syrup, corn syrup or golden syrup.
    • White chocolate (optional) - for drizzling over the top of the slice.

    Equipment Required

    This simple Honey Cornflake Slice is made using just a few basic kitchen equipment items.

    You will need:

    • Microwave (or alternatively a stove-top or Thermomix) - for melting the butter and honey.
    • Large mixing bowl & spoon - for mixing the ingredients.
    • Baking tin - a rectangular 18cm x 28cm (7 x 11 inch) baking tin.
    • Greaseproof baking paper - for lining the tin.
    • Oven - I specify fan-forced oven temperatures. If using a conventional oven, increase the temperature by 10 degrees.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Just 4 simple steps and 10 minutes prep time is all it takes to make crunchy corn flake slice!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Combine The Dry Ingredients

    Place the Corn Flakes, rolled oats, coconut and caster sugar into a large bowl and mix to combine.

    Step 2 - Melt The Wet Ingredients

    Step 3 - Mix

    Pour the wet mixture onto the dry mixture and mix until all ingredients are well combined.

    Note: The dry mixture should be coated in the butter/honey.

    Step 4 - Bake

    Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking tin.

    Cook for 20 minutes or until just lightly golden on top.

    Allow to cool and then drizzle over the melted white chocolate (optional).

    Expert Tips

    • Prepare the baking tin - ensure that you grease and then line a 18cm x 28cm (7 x 11 inch) baking tin with baking paper. The baking paper should overlap the sides of the tin to allow for easy removal of the slice for cutting.
    • Honey substitute - you can substitute the honey for rice malt syrup, corn syrup or golden syrup.
    • Cutting the slice - remove the chilled slice from the fridge. Using a large flat, sharp knife, cut the slice into small pieces.
    • Storing - store the slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week - this will keep the slice extra crunchy!
    • Freezing - freeze the slice in an airtight container in for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost before consuming.
