["Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 10 x 15"" sheet pan with buttered & floured parchment.", "", "Whisk together all the wet ingredients, sugars, and salt. Stir in the dry ingredients until well-combined. Turn out onto the prepared sheet pan, spread the batter evenly.", "", "Bake for ~15 minutes, when done will be light brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Begin testing for doneness at 12 minutes.", "", "Note regarding coconut milk: I intended to use regular milk but had none. I had a carton of a new product I saw in the dairy case-- a coconut milk beverage in a half gallon carton. It is coconut milk plus carrageenan and some other stuff. It's pretty thick and rich even though it's just 80 cal per serving. Intended as a beverage. Looked like a thin unsweetened coconut milk. Could probably substitute regular canned (or freshly made) coconut milk or just whole milk."]

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.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
