Breakfast Berry Recipes

Sample the breakfast berry recipes from Anchorage Alaska bed and breakfasts.

Both wild and cultivated berries are big and plentiful this year. Anchorage had great weather the last week of May which is a deciding period for the berries. We have had lots of rain since then. In July we had double the average of rainfall and set a record for number of rainy days.

Here is a recipe from Alaskan Frontier Gardens for breakfast or desert:

Apple Berry Crunch Delight


3 Granny smith apples (pealed and cored)
1 cup Cranberries or mixed fruit
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cups white sugar
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup granola
1/4 cup almonds or pecans
1 cube butter

Mix additional 1/8 cup of flour with 1/8 cup of sugar (brown) with cinnamon
and nutmeg. Add apples and slowly turn.

Mix flour, sugar (white) and granola

Layer apple mixture to lightly greased pan (8x8) add half flour/sugar
mixture, add berries, layer remaining flour/sugar mixture

Top with cut pieces of cubed butter

Bake at 375 degrees for 50-55 minutes You may need to cover for last 10
minutes.


Here is another breakfast recipe from Camai Bed and Breakfast using blueberries:

Berry Breakfast Bread or Muffins

2 cups cooked steel-cut oats
½ cup uncooked rolled oats
1/3 cup melted butter
1/3 cup of applesauce
1 egg
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
¼ cup additional blueberries for topping
1/4 cup uncooked rolled oats

Preparation

Melt the butter and mix it in with the warm cooked oatmeal. Add the applesauce.

In a separate bowl, combine the egg and honey. Add it to the other wet ingredients.

Combine the sugar, cinnamon, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a third bowl. Mix well and then add to the wet ingredients. Stir until all traces of the dry ingredients are gone (do not over mix).

Pour into loaf tin, or spoon into muffin tins (2/3-3/4 full). I was able to make 12 regular sized muffins.

Top with berries and raw oats. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes.
