Pat hermits into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan; the mixture will be quite dry.
Brush top with beaten egg and generously sprinkle with Turbinado sugar (natural sugar).
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a light-colored aluminum pan; 20 to 25 minutes in a darker pan. In either case, don't over-bake; bars should barely be pulling away from the edge of the pan. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.
