Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a more caramel-like taste. If you don't have nuts on hand, feel free to use chocolate chips or dried fruit as a mix-in. To prevent sticking, ensure the pan is greased generously, and consider using parchment paper for easier removal.
