For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar on the higher end of the range. You can substitute chopped walnuts for pecans if needed. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try using almond flour instead of regular flour. Make sure to keep an eye on the dessert while baking; stirring every 10 minutes helps achieve an even golden brown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries in this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dessert. Adding them directly may lead to a soggy texture, so pat them dry before mixing in.
What can I do if I don’t have an 11 x 7-inch pan?
If you don't have an 11 x 7-inch pan, you can use a similar-sized baking dish or even a round cake pan. Just adjust the baking time, checking for doneness earlier or later depending on the pan used, as different materials may conduct heat differently.
Can I add other fruits to this dessert?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in other fruits such as raspberries or strawberries for added flavor and variety. Just keep in mind that different fruits may impact the baking time and moisture content, so monitor closely as it bakes.
