Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and line a square 8x8-inch baking tin with parchment paper.
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.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, low-fat plain yogurt, vanilla extract, grated fresh ginger, and applesauce until smooth.
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.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
Lift the ginger slice out of the tin using the parchment paper and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
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.
