Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture, and don't let it boil. Take the pan off the heat. Then add the oats, chocolate chips and ginger. Stir them in really well, until they are covered with the syrup mixture.

- STEP 4Bake the mixture for about 25 mins. When the top is golden brown, carefully lift the tin out of the oven. Leave the mixture in the tin for 10 mins. Cut into piecies while warm, then leave the pieces in the tin to cool.
