Mid summer and the berries are in abundance! Blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, oh my! This is a great recipe when berries are on sale at Sprouts. Sometimes they have them as low as two packages for $3. How can you pass that up?!
Berry mixture
- 4 – 6 oz. packages of berries (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and/or strawberries)
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 Tbs. sugar
- 1 Tbs. tapioca
Mix first four ingredients and set aside.
Topping
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 Tbs. wheat germ
- 6 Tbs. cold butter
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- dash of salt
Combine dry ingredients and cut butter into the mixture with a pastry cutter or forks.
Pour berry mixture into a 8×8 greased pan. Top with oat mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 – 55 minutes. Serve over vanilla ice cream.
