Ever crave dessert for breakfast but don’t want to feel toooo guilty about it? Try this crisp. It’s a cinch to throw together and can easily be adapted to use any seasonal fruit. The oats, almond butter, and almond flour add protein while the agave adds just a hint of sweetness.
This recipe makes about 4-6 servings, so I like to make it on the weekend and heat up the leftovers on busy weekday mornings.
You start by coarsely chopping up a large pear. I used Bartlett but you could also try Bosc.
Then pile on some berries.
Make a simple crumble of oats, almond butter, almond meal, and a sweetener, and throw it on.
Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Okay, I might have overbaked this one by a minute or two.
And here’s the close up.
Aren’t those berries lovely?
