    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    Honey Cornflake Slice is such a tasty option for school lunch boxes or morning tea!

    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 3 - Mix

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

    Step 4 - Bake

    Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking tin.

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

    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.
