Winter Berry Breakfast Cobbler

Breakfast isn’t especially my favorite (with one exception for buttermilk biscuits and gravy made with bacon).  I don’t love eggs, despite trying to enjoy them, and most other breakfasts leave me feeling like I need insulin (though I’m not diabetic).  This cobbler, however, meets right in the mid-point (sweet spot?) of sour and light and lovely.  It can be dressed up for dessert with ice cream and caramel sauce, or served in it’s brighter, cleaner version with a bit of Greek yogurt.  I’ve made it here with black raspberries frozen from this summer’s garden and tart pie cherries, but it is a laid back recipe that works well with any berry you happen to have on hand, fresh or frozen.

Filling:

5 cups fresh or frozen berries (I used 3 cups of raspberries and 2 cups of cherries)

3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 Tablespoons honey

Crumbled Topping:

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup old fashioned oats

½ cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt

5 Tablespoons butter, cut into 10 or so pieces

Preheat oven to 325°

For filling, combine berries, honey and flour and pour into deep pie dish. 

For topping, combine flour, oats, pecans, brown sugar and salt.  Using either a pastry cutter, two knives or fingers, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until butter is small, pea-sized pieces.  Sprinkle topping over berry mixture, distributing evenly.

Bake  for 40 minutes or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly.
