Leftover crisp makes such a good breakfast, why not make a crisp specific for breakfast?! This one is full of early summer flavors as well as wholesome oats and nuts. —fiveandspice

Strawberry Apricot Breakfast Crisp
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold, salted butter, cut into chunks (cold coconut oil works well too)
  • 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 6 apricots, pitted and quartered
  • 8 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • yogurt of your choice, for serving
  • lemon zest and/or thinly sliced fresh basil, for serving
Directions
  1. Heat your oven to 400F. To make the crisp topping combine the hazelnuts with 1-2 Tbs. of the oats in a food processor and process until they reach the consistency of a coarse flour. Keep an eye on it to make sure you don’t process it all the way into a paste.
  2. Add the remaining oats, salt, cold butter, and honey and pulse just until a chunky mixture forms.
  3. Combine the quartered apricots and strawberries in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a thick layer (I usually use a gratin dish or a pie plate). Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the top of the fruit.
  4. Bake in the oven until the fruit is bubbling and the topping has browned, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then store in the refrigerator and dole out for breakfasts over the following days.
  5. Serve a scoop of crisp (you can warm it up a bit first, or eat it cold) with a couple scoops of yogurt and top with a little sprinkle of lemon zest or sliced fresh basil.

I have made this over and over- with strawberries and apricots/peaches, or blueberries, apples and pears- basically whatever is in season. I even just made one with cranberries and apple. I use pecans instead of hazelnuts since they are easier for me to find. It always turns out delicious. Perfect weekend breakfast treat that is still a little healthy.

Just made this for breakfast today. It was great ! I used blueberries and apricots. I halved the recipe and baked it in two 8z ramekins.

This was so yummy! I made some changes just based on the season, etc...I used rasp and blackberries and strawberries instead of apricot. I doubled the recipe and did 1/3 lavender honey and 1/3 real maple syrup. I added a little cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Also a little vanilla. I cut the butter to 6 T and then used almonds. YUM YUM YUM! Thank you so much!!!
