Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch slice pan (20cm x 20cm) or pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients: flour, rolled oats, baking powder, desiccated coconut, and soft brown sugar.
Stir in almond milk, melted margarine, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold in sultanas just before the end.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the center rack of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown, and a pick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Don't over bake or they get very dry and crumbly.
Cool down on a wire rack then slice into 16 squares.
Storage
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze and thaw the day before in the fridge.
Note 1: You can also use 1/2 cup oat bran + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or 1/2 cup homemade oat flour + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.Note 2: I used classic tablespoons (15ml), not Australian tablespoons (20ml). 3 classic tablespoons (45ml) equal to 9 teaspoons.
