Perfect for tea time or as a comforting snack, these biscuits offer a delightful mix of oats, coconut, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup.'}

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, oats, dried coconut meat, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the maple syrup and water. Stir to combine.

4. Activate the Baking Soda:
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the baking soda to the butter and syrup mixture. The mixture will foam up slightly due to the reaction between the baking soda and the acidic maple syrup.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a cohesive dough.

6. Form the Biscuits:
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the dough into small balls (about the size of a walnut) and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

7. Bake:
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

8. Cool:
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Enjoy:
Once the biscuits are completely cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
