Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, grated fresh ginger, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the coconut oil gently in a saucepan or microwave. Once melted, mix it with the maple syrup until well combined.
Pour the coconut oil and maple syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking tin to form the base layer. Make sure to compact it well with the back of a spoon or your hands.
Bake the base in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it is golden brown.
While the base is baking, prepare the topping by whisking together the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Once the base is baked and cooled slightly, spread the coconut cream mixture evenly over the top.
Place the ginger slice in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the slice from the tin and cut into 16 squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
