Prep time:
15 mins
Cook time:
30 mins
Makes:
24 squares

Oaty Base

  • 150g butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup golden syrup
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ¾ cup self-raising flour
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut
  • 2 tsp ground ginger

Ginger Topping

  • 100g butter
  • 3 tbsp golden syrup
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 4 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp chopped crystallised ginger 

Preheat oven to 170°C fanbake and line a small slice tray (about 21cm x 27cm) with baking paper.

To make the Oaty Base, heat together butter, sugar and golden syrup in a medium pot until melted. Mix in oats, flour, coconut and ginger to evenly combine. Press firmly and evenly into prepared tray and bake until pale golden (20-25 minutes).

When the Oaty Base is nearly cooked, make the Ginger Topping by heating together butter and golden syrup in a medium pot until melted and starting to bubble. Stir in icing sugar and ground ginger to combine evenly and spread mixture over cooked base while still hot. When the topping is set, stud with pieces of crystallised ginger. Cut into squares while warm. Store in a sealed container in a cool place for up to a week.

Yammy! I want to try!! Try this Vegan Blueberry Mug Cake - https://greenann.com/recipe/vegan-mug-cake/ Healthy, easy to prepare and sooo tasty!))

Yes super buttery base so I added an extra cup of flour until it resembled Anzac cookie consistency (I doubled the recipe so maybe just add half a cup & keep going until mixture looks drier) I also used wholemeal flour instead for a more chewy base and also added tsp of ground cloves. Worked perfectly. Thanks guys for heads up about being too buttery!
Sarah86 November 17, 2019
I have just made this and it is beautiful, however my icing is a little buttery also. What did I do wrong? Is this able to be frozen?
Junealison November 02, 2019
I have ,made this heaps of times and it is always perfect. Everybody loves it. I have never used another recipe since discovering this one๐Ÿ˜€
Granniea October 21, 2019
My base worked fine but the icing was very buttery. Like it was separating out. I measured and weighed all ingredients. What did I do wrong
Samanne October 02, 2019
This is certainly the ultimate ginger crunch. Finally got around to making it today, perfect result. I had run out of golden syrup so used treacle as a substitute.
Joss September 26, 2019
Please can someone tell me why mine came out very fatty? Too much butter, even though I followed the recipe?
hspilkin May 25, 2019

Mims May 20, 2019

Grannie A November 19, 2018

Pam Fahey November 14, 2017
I made this at the weekend and it is delicious and will be the only ginger crunch recipe I will use ๐Ÿ‘
sandyolliver July 24, 2017
Fantastic. So simple to make yet scrumptious. Thanks so much.
Sharron.B August 06, 2016
Made this today with my 4yr old daughter and it is delish! Easy to follow recipe with cupboard staples and ready within about 40mins. The oats give it just the right amount of crunch and the golden syrup in the base and icing rounds out the ginger flavour nicely. Thanks Annabel๐Ÿ˜€
