Breakfast Blueberry Crisp
"I made it kind of breakfasty -- with less sugar, and some nuts."
This is something The Mrs whipped up for us in a few minutes. It is one of those recipes she just knows. I can assure you there are no baking recipes that I know. She will just grab some oats, some butter, a little sugar, and some fresh berries ... next thing you know, we've got warm crisp to eat.
You can call it cobbler or crisp, I think. But in my mind a cobbler has more of a dough, whereas a crisp is a crumbly sugar topping. I love both. So in this case you can make me either and I would be a very happy man.
My wife had been making smoothies with frozen fruit. She had a lot (I mean Costco-sized) of frozen blueberries, so she decided to bake with some. It was light and really delicious. I have been eating yogurt with granola and fresh fruit for lunch for quite a while now. This was very similar to granola and fresh fruit. And the addition of nuts really made it quite tasty. You could even top it with some yogurt instead of whipped cream and it would be like an upscale desert version of a parfait.
Check out the next post, where I try my luck at some serious baking.
