Ingredients

• 100 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 60 milliliters Honey
• 50 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 60 grams Applesauce, unsweetened
• 30 grams Walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and line a square 8x8-inch baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, low-fat plain yogurt, vanilla extract, grated fresh ginger, and applesauce until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not over-mix to avoid tough slices.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Lift the ginger slice out of the tin using the parchment paper and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut the ginger slice into 12 bars or squares using a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
