Berry Good Breakfast

Remember when I told you I'd be giving you blog treats all day?

Well, apparently, fruit is very good for you ;-)

But it's also delicious and this recipe tastes like home cooked pie -- so technically this is a freaking treat! :)

I love breakfast. I maintain that it is the meal of the champions! Did I mention I love breakfast?

Not everybody loves breakfast as much as me... unless someone cooks for them, and then, who doesn't love breakfast?

This breakfast is pretty much like eating a fruit filled pie in the morning... without the fat-filled crust and unhealthy pie filling. 

Instead, picture this: The aroma of bubbling, slowly liquefying fruit spreads through the house and it's not long before inquiring stomachs have wandered into the room. Mission accomplished. Good morning :)

What You Need:

• a whole lotta berries! Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries... whatever you can get your hands on. Three heaping cups will make enough for 4-5 people.
• 1/2 heaping cup of whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 dash of salt
• 2 tablespoons of oats
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 tablespoon basil, minced

What You Do:

• Preheat oven to 400
• Warm honey in the microwave, then toss with balsamic vinegar and basil and fruit in a large bowl.
• Transfer to a casserole dish
• In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, browns sugar, salt, and oats
• Knead butter into that mixture with your hands, creating a crumbly mixture
• Sprinkle crumbly mixture over fruit
• Put in the oven for 30 minutes or until top is beginning to harden
• Serve!
