World’s Healthiest Dessert?

I think we’ve got a contender here: the “pretend it’s just a bowl of fruit and oatmeal,” crisp, which, in a way, it is. But it still tastes like dessert!

So-Healthy-It’s-Almost-Oatmeal Crisp

1 bag of mixed frozen berries (the Whole Foods assortment includes blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)

3 Tbsp. sugar

1/4 to 1/2 cup old fashioned oats

1 Tbsp. of butter (or less)

3 more Tbsp. sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix the berries with the sugar (they don’t have to be defrosted) and place in greased pan, like this 8-in round one.

2. Sprinkle the oats and remaining sugar on top of the fruit; drop little slivers of butter over the whole crisp. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crust is golden. Eat! For dessert, breakfast the next day, snack, anytime.

You could also add nuts or flaxseed, and use honey instead of the sugar. Then it really would be like my morning bowl of oatmeal!
