Tired of the same boring breakfast every day? I've definitely had that feeling. I want something filling, nutritious, and exciting to set the tone for an incredible day! This Crisp recipe that is equally good as a dessert or as breakfast definitely fits the bill. Dessert for breakfast - Amazing!
As usual, I have made some modifications to make this 100% guilt free for breakfast. This can be made with any fruit - simply substitute ~3/4 cup fruit of your choice. I love adding blueberries in, they release so much sweet flavor when cooked!
The original recipe called for both honey and brown sugar, but I wanted to stick to natural sweetness. The fruit is already so sweet that you don't need to be adding more. So instead of these sweeteners, I used all fruit jelly instead. This is the kind of jelly I buy anyways - it's made entirely of fruit with no added sugar. Apricot works well for its mild flavor - but any kind will do.
There are two parts to this recipe: the filling and the topping.
Filling: 1 chopped peach (or fruit of choice) mixed with 1 tsp jelly or jam.
Topping: Mix together 2 T oats (the recipe calls for quick cook but rolled oats work great), 2 T granola (choose your favorite!), 1 T ground flaxseed, 2 tsp jelly, and 1 T yogurt (I use unsweetened low fat greek)
Lightly grease your ramekin (or oven safe bowl or mug) and then scoop in the filling and then the topping. It bakes for 12-15 minutes in the toaster oven at 350. I'd suggest putting a lid or some tinfoil on for the first half if you make it in the toaster oven so it doesn't burn. Make sure to keep an eye on it.
Finally spoon more yogurt on top and add some cinnamon if you like! The end result is so decadent. The fruit cooks and releases its sweet juices. The topping gets nice and toasted. The cool creaminess of the yogurt cuts the heat. Tastes like eating a rich dessert but it is packed with nutrition! The perfect way to start any day off right!
