Tried making this today. Did not turn out at all. Bubbled up in the oven and spread to the edges of the pan and beyond. Edges burned terribly. Followed the instructions to a "t". Not sure what went wrong...

Oh no Michelle, I am sorry to hear that. I know oven temperatures may vary, do you think it was overcooked?

This looks wonderful! Just wondering, if you don't have coconut palm sugar, could you substitute with honey or organic cane sugar? Thanks!
lauren
Organic cane sugar would work perfectly 🙂 Let me know how you like it, Meredith!
