Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter along with the golden syrup and brown sugar until smooth and combined. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the ground ginger and grated fresh ginger until well incorporated.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, desiccated coconut, and rolled oats.
Step 5
Pour the warm butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Add the unsweetened almond milk and stir until the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
Step 6
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Allow the ginger slice to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the slice out of the pan and onto a cutting surface.
Step 9
Cut into 12 equal squares to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
