Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups fresh berries blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and/or blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a food processor, combine the almonds and 2 tablespoons of the oats. Pulse until finely ground. Add the remaining oats, salt, butter, and honey. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is broken into small pieces.
  • Divide the berries evenly between two 6.5-inch cast iron skillets or ramekins. Sprinkle the almond oat topping evenly over the berries.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the berries are bubbling and the topping is lightly golden brown.
  • Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or let cool completely and serve with yogurt.

Notes

  • This recipe is baked in two 6.5-inch cast iron skillets. Ramekins or other small oven-safe baking dishes work well too.
  • Want to serve more people? Double the recipe for a 10-inch cast iron skillet or triple it for a 12-inch cast iron skillet or 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Frozen berries can be used without thawing. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • For grilling, cook over medium to medium-high heat with the grill lid closed for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
