Ingredients




Base
150g butter
3/4 cup Low GI sugar (brown sugar if you aren’t going the Low GI route)
2 tbsp golden syrup
3/4 cup plain flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp ground ginger
1.5 cups whole oats
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
Icing
150g butter
2 cups icing sugar, sifted
3 Tbsp golden syrup
4 tsp ground ginger

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 180c. Line a slice tin with baking paper. 2 Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a large pot over a medium heat, stirring to combine. Once all mixed together, remove from the heat. 3 Sift the flour, baking powder and ginger into the pot and then add the oats and coconut. Give it a good stir to combine everything together. 4 Press the mixture into the tin and smooth out either with your hands or the back of a spoon. 5 Bake for 15 minutes then leave in the tin to cool on a rack. 6 While the slice is hanging out, heat all of the ingredients for the icing into the same pot (rinsed out of course), stirring over a medium heat until everything has melted. 7 Poor over the slice and leave to cool. Once cool, cut into slices!
