Peach Blueberry Breakfast Crisp Recipe + Reid’s Preview

I didn’t get a lot of movie suggestions on my previous post (Liv did say: Love and Other Impossible Pursuits), but I keep hearing (via the blog, Facebook, twitter and friends) that the Something Borrowed book series is really good. It must be if everyone keeps saying that! Maybe I need to read them next?!

On to Sunday…

I’ve been having fun cooking for my sister since she keeps requesting things she’s seen on the blog. Yay for family reading your blog!

Description

This Individual Peach Blueberry Crisp Recipe taste just like summer! I love using farmer’s market fruits in this simple breakfast dish. Unlike dessert crisps, this one is lighter on sugar and oil/butter. It’s also heavy on the oats so you get a decent grain serving. And did I mention this is an easy way to work fruits into your daily eats? Oh yes. I do this for you, dear reader. 😉 Bake this for breakfast tomorrow! The dish mixes together quickly and you can finish getting ready for the day while it bakes away.
*Vegan if you use vegan substitute for the butter*


Ingredients

Scale
  • oil
  • 1 peach – cleaned, pitted, and chopped (I used fresh, but frozen should work)
  • 12 tablespoons blueberries (frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp sucanat (or brown sugar – optional if you want your fruit mixture sweeter than the natural sweetness of the fruits)
  • 1/4 tsp tapioca starch (or corn starch)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp flour (I used spelt, but any will do)
  • 1 tsp sucanat (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp canola oil
  • pinch salt
  • dash cinnamon (optional)
  • bit of butter (about 1/4 tsp – optional)
  • sprinkling of chopped pecans (about 1 tbsp)
  • non-stick spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prep baking dish (I used a 4″ round ramekin) by brushing the inside lightly with oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix peaches, blueberries, sucanat (if using) and tapioca starch. Pour into baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix oats, flour, sucanat, oil, salt, cinnamon (I rinsed out my mixing bowl and reused it for the topping – one less dish = easier clean up!). Pour topping over berries.
  4. If you’re using it, dab small pieces of butter over topping and sprinkle nuts over topping.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until top is lightly browned and peach/berry mixture just bubbles at the sides.
  6. Wait till the crisp is safe to eat, serve, and enjoy!

Breakfast Crisps are a great and delicious way to get fruit and whole grains in your breakfast.

By the way, here’s a recipe for a mixed berry version!

After breakfast, my sister and I headed out to meet some girlfriends at the pool. It was glorious soaking up the sun, enjoying the cool pool water, chatting it up with the girls, and just relaxing. I forgot to take photos, though…doh!

I did manage to take some iPhone photos of our next couple of adventures – lunch at a must-see Charlotte restaurant and a preview of a not-so-new “grocery store.” Read on for dets…

I took my sister to The Cowfish since it’s awesome and I had a Living Social deal for the place that was about to expire.

Sis and I both got unsweetened mango teas and they were perfectly refreshing since we were dining al fresco.

We also tried the chicken satay. The app was great, but if you’re visiting Cowfish, I suggest getting one of their more unique appetizers. You can get chicken satay almost anywhere! But you can’t get ahi tuna tacos or deconstructed crab rangoons as dip.

I got my usual – the bento box.

I never thought I’d like sushi and burgers in the same meal so much, but it’s a match made in heaven.

As always, lunch and service were wonderful.

And for dessert on the hot Sunday, we hit up Yoforia. I got tart and pomegranate with strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, coconut and my now must-have topping – mochi!

And since we were in the neighborhood, I thought I’d pay a visit to the newly opened Reid’s Fine Foods. Reid’s used to be open uptown, but closed awhile back. Everyone was very sad as the place was a beloved establishment for the locals. But now, it’s back in business!

Inside, they had lots of fresh produce, a small frozen foods section, a small refrigerated foods section, plenty of locally made products and fancy imports.

They still have their famous butcher shop (I spotted Grateful Growers products in there!).

Plus, they have a nice selection of prepared foods.

They also have a large selection of cheeses and wines.

And they now have a wine bar. You can order wines by the glass here. They have half off glasses on a couple days of the week (I think Monday and Thursday, but don’t quote me!). In addition, they have wine tastings and cooking classes!

I’m so glad to see Reid’s back in busines, and I hope they and other small, local businesses continue to thrive. Go local!

While we were waiting for our lunch table to be ready, sis and I visited Crate and Barrel. Sis bought me these 2 mini bowls. Aren’t they cute?

She also got me a fun new food ingredient – Sweet Potato Butter! I’m thinking this is going to get mixed into some oats pretty soon. Yum-ee!!

  1. These individual crisps are so cute! I’d definitely add a bit more sugar and serve them for a summer dinner party.

    Wow Reid’s looks amazing! I’d love to have a store like that in my town, but we sadly haven’t jumped on the local foods movement. And sweet potato butter sounds just interesting enough to try.

    Since we don’t have many local food outlets, I usually support them by going to farmer’s markets.

    • That would be great for dessert! Yum! Just make sure you don’t put everything in one container if you multiply the recipe. Someone tried that once, but it produced a version with so much topping. That’s because I went heavy on the oats since this was for breakfast so you got a good whole grain serving. It works in individual size, but not so much if you try to serve it like a traditional crisp in one big casserole dish. lol

  2. OK, I’m really sad that I just looked at Cowfish photos and 1am – because that made me hungry!! Haha 😉

    I’m really excited to check out the new Reid’s since it opened again, it looks SO cute inside!

    As for supporting local business, I just like to eat local and shop at local farmers markets. 🙂

  3. First, that little ramekin is so cute! I need to find myself one of those.
    One of my fav fruits are apples, I think they would be great in a breakfast crisp.
    Looking forward to reading about your new challenge! They’re always so much fun.

    • Ditto on the blackberries! They’re the best part about summer in my opinion!

      As far as the local businesses, my addiction to the produce shop is my favorite way to support local farmers and businesspeople (instead of big box stores like Walmart!) Of course, I hit up Publix and Whole Foods for extra goodies, but almost all of my fruits and veggies are from that local stand!

  4. Omg that crisp looks amazing! I love the peach + blueberry combo, amazing 😀 I’ve never thought to eat sushi and burgers in the same meal either lol Glad it was a great combo. That chicken satay looks scrumptious

  5. What a fun day with your sis! And that sushi & burger joint is genius!

    I’m part of a CSA and I definitely frequent local restaurants as much as I can (I’m a hater of the chain restaurant) – so I definitely agree with the ‘support local’ mantra!

  6. I just made this as a light lunch. DELICIOUS!
    Perfect portion. I added raspberries instead of blueberries because that’s what I had!
    Great idea!

    • Woohoo! So glad to hear it made a nice lunch! I’ve never had this for lunch, but I have made it for a one-serving dessert. hehe I love your substitution of raspberries. Yum! Thanks for checking out my recipe. Have a great rest of the weekend!
