Recipe Tips

To make this recipe even more decadent, add a layer of marshmallows on top of the brown sugar and pecan mixture before baking. The marshmallows will melt and create a gooey, sweet topping that everyone will love. If you don't like pecans, you can substitute them with walnuts or almonds. You can also omit them altogether if you prefer a nut-free version of this dish. For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use almond milk instead of regular milk, and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. You can also reduce the amount of butter used or substitute it with coconut oil.
