If you use Maple syrup for the 175g golden syrup, use 1/2 cup. (really 0.54cup)
For 75g brown sugar, use 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (really about 0.34 cup)
for 250g rolled oats, use 1 1/2 cup (really about 1/6 cups)

I hope that helps for all of us in the USA with our household measurements!

I tried this recipe this weekend using roughly the same proportions (and a combo of honey/ maple syrup instead of the sugars listed). Something went horribly wrong- I ended up with oats floating in sugary butter soup. I had assumed that 250 grams of oats is the same as 250 ml of oats (the metric part doesn't really throw me, but I'm used to measuring things by volume not weight). Anyone have an idea where I went wrong???
