Let’s have a quick little throw back to Mum’s Birthday Breaky shallllll we?
If you read the post, you’ve probably heard all about the occasion.
But there was one tiny (yet delicious) detail that I may or may not of delved into at the time – you see I thought ahead in anticipation for this post and thought I better save the raving for a post where there isn’t like millions of words to read in addition to comments of praise for Mum’s successful birthday celebration.
Anyway, if you have no idea what I’m blabbing about, I’m gonna lay it all out there on the table, berries, crumble, the whole lot.
I always love a good chance to hop into the kitchen with a purpose which extends the desires of my stomaches current requests (although, there tends to be nothing better than a satisfying pasta, but we’ll leave those musings for a rainy day).
So, naturally I jumped at the opportunity to help Mum in preparation for her Birthday Breakfast. And as usual my ideas in my head were a little too extravagant for a casual gathering, so we settled on my role consisting of making the banana bread, rhubarb & pear compote (recipe here) and a total last minute idea that I didn’t expect mom to give the ‘all-go’ to, which was funnily enough, this Apple & Berry Crumble that actually turned out to be the breakfast hit! Who knew?!
A quick and utterly mouthwatering, perfect breakfast accompaniment for the yoghurt (and you know what, pretty damn awesome by itself, and maybe a little cheeky scoop of ice-cream… it’s never too early fo ice-cream).
I kinda didn’t want it to be finished by all the guests here, because… to be perfectly honest, I just wanted to stuff my face with it when they all left.
No judgment. No worries.
I could eat spade fulls of that crumble… I tell no lie.
And you know what, it’s probably wouldn’t be all such a bad thing, I mean, just check this;
frozen berries, canned apple, and a little crumble mixture.
It’s preeeeeety much a salad.
Most recipes I follow, I just tend to double the preparation time, because to be honest, I tend to be a bit of slow poke in the kitchen.
But this recipe, I kid you not, will take 5 minutes preparation.
It’s so easy, it makes sifting look hard…
And the flavours?? A total match made in heaven, classic, simple and full of berry bursts. The almonds and coconut add the perfect crunch, which pretty much make this dish your next soulmate, just sayin’.
