Author Notes
I developed this recipe as a vegan treat for my sister for Thanksgiving, but it quickly morphed into a family favorite. It's easy to whip together and can be vegan or non-vegan according to preference. It has a subtle crunch and tastes great with an oat streusel. If icing is your thing, a simple confectioner sugar glaze drizzled on top looks quite nice. —Sabrina Sucato
