I’ve been on a berry kick! I just came back from Oregon where I reveled in the intoxicating abundance of berries and local produce at the renowned PSU Farmers Market, held every Saturday at Portland State University campus, downtown Portland. The berries reminded me of a Driscoll’s Berries recipe I created as a healthy-ish treat.  Since my sister and I went a bit crazy buying berries  – how could we not! – two days later one raspberry basket was almost past prime. It was perfect for these Berry Good Breakfast Bars, a very happy breakfast indeed.  If you don’t have fresh berries, frozen are good too, which makes this is a year-round recipe. I adjust the sugar in the crumb mixture for a more sweet or less sweet bar, depending on my eaters. The recipe is dairy-free and made with whole grains. Consider it a cookie or a breakfast bar!

Berry Good Breakfast Bars

Use fresh or frozen raspberries or any combination of berries to make this grab 'n go breakfast or cookie bar.
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Course: Breakfast, Dessert
Servings: 16 bars

Ingredients

Fruit Filling

  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries, about 6-7 ounces, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or combination
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Crumble

  • 1-1/2 cups regular or quick oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 - 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, depending on preference for sweetness
  • 1/3 cup walnut pieces
  • 1/4 cup wheat germ or flaxmeal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Optionally, also line with parchment extending over two ends of pan. The butter helps the parchment stick.

Filling:

  • Combine berries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Simmer on medium heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until fruit breaks down and mixture is thickened and translucent. Remove from heat and let stand while preparing topping.

Cookie Crumb:

  • Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, walnuts, wheat germ, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Process until oats and walnuts are finely ground.
  • Add oil and egg; pulse until evenly combined, scraping sides of work bowl.
  • Firmly press half the crumb mixture, about 2 cups, evenly on bottom of prepared pan. Spread fruit filling evenly over crumbs. Top with remaining crumbs and pat down evenly.
  • Bake 25 minutes until golden brown. Bars may puff slightly. Cool completely in pan. Lift out of pan with parchment, if using parchment and place on a cutting board. Cut into bars. Or cut bars in pan and lift out with off-set spatula.
Topping the berry filling.


Portland Farmers Market haul! That’s a giant Walla Walla onion!

Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do you care or wonder what the developer did different? Or do you think it was fancy food styling and photography? There’s lots of reasons —like different pans, ingredients vary, your whipped eggs may turn out a little different than mine because they are fresher, older, different hens.... and on and on. I hope you don’t get discouraged when images aren’t the same as your results, and you can see by mine, even when it IS my recipe there are variations. The cake on the plate is gluten free, and didn’t bake as golden as the flour version. (And my oven is currrently on the fritz, believe it or not! 😂)

Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. P Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. Perfect after a day of baking, biking, gardening, and escaping into a good book on the sofa by the fire.  Recipe inspired by  @cheflauriegauguin. We spice it up with a smear of hoisin sauce on a Trader Joe’s Carb Savvy whole wheat tortilla to wrap it all up.
(If you want to know, the book I’m reading is The Knitting Circle by @annhood56)

Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll kee Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll keep raw cashews on-hand always. Or try with another nut, and let me know which you like best. My gift to you is the recipe below 🙂
Original recipe @leitesculinaria and @inagarten but I first enjoyed it from @mmfooddrink. 🙏 this recipe has been a gift that keeps giving 😂. 
Merry Christmas!

Rosemary Roasted Cashews
 
Heat oven to 350°F
 
Spread 1 pound raw whole cashews on a baking sheet (I usually line sheet with parchment). Bake for 15-20 minutes turning several times until toasted a deep golden brown.
 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl,  microwave 1 tablespoon salted butter until melted.
Stir in:
one rounded tablespoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 
Add hot cashews to bowl as soon as they are toasted.  Stir and stir until cashews are cool and coated with herb mixture.  Stirring while the nuts are hot is the trick. Cool completely in the bowl.
