Servings: persons

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons malted milk powder (original or vanilla flavor)
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
9 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
Nonpareils, for decorating (optional)

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
2
Butter the parchment.
3
Whisk the flour, oats, malted milk powder, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a large bowl.
4
Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
5
Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
6
Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
7
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
8
Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes.
9
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the white chocolate, then return to the oven until the chocolate softens, about 45 seconds.
10
Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate into a smooth layer.
11
Top with nonpareils.
12
Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, then lift out of the pan using the parchment; cut into squares.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
