Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the parchment paper extends over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the golden syrup and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 7

While the base is baking, prepare the ginger topping by mixing the powdered sugar, chopped crystallized ginger, and hot water in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Once the base is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the ginger frosting over the slightly cooled base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Allow the slice to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 pieces.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
