I’m going to do this with peaches this weekend since my wife doesn’t like the blueberries. Thanks!

[–] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Oh man that does sound good! I used a bag of frozen blueberries for this, I bet frozen peaches would work just as well here

The shot with the ice cream made my stomach growl!

OP, are you using rolled oats or another type? Rolled oats (vs steel cut oats or quick oats) sounds like the right type, but I thought I should ask.

[–] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just use plain instant/quick oats. Never tried it with any other kind though

[–] MrZee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks!

If you try another type, try rolled oats first, not steel cut. Then if that works well you could think about trying steel cut. Your standard Quaker Oats are rolled oats (Quaker also sells quick oats).

Steel cut oats are the least processed, are chunkier, and require the most cooking. Rolled oats are flattened and steamed, so require less cooking than steel cut. Quick oats are processed even more and require the least cooking. So if you try rolled, you will probably get a little bit heartier/crunchier of a topping. Steel cut might end up being just straight hard or overly chewy.

I never knew what the difference between them were, thanks! I’ve got a giant container of quick oats to work through, haha, but once I do I’m for sure gonna get some rolled oats for baking stuff like this.

I love how the recipe is literally written on a piece of paper, photographed, then uploaded. lol. Thanks, I’ll definitely try this with how easy it is.

We have my mom to thank for the recipe!

Some tips:

Buy a bag of frozen blueberries, it’s cheaper and it turns out just as good.

I made this with almond flour and it turned out just as good as any other time I’ve made it.

Just to dispel the stigma for a lot of fruit often frozen is better than “fresh” as fresh fruit is often picked before it’s ripe and the varieties are often bred for transportation rather than flavor.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Awesome! We use almond flour at home too. Thanks for the tip!

[–] Alto@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely going to steal this tomorrow, probably gonna swap strawberries. Appreciate it OP!

[–] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Last time I made this I used 3/4 blueberries and strawberries for the rest when I ran out. It was great and gave it a little tang I liked.

[–] leftenddev@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Wow that is dead simple! Will have to try that!

[–] delicious_justice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That looks perfection! Love the simple summer fruit desserts.

[–] Raptor_007@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Saving this for later. Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, that looks amazing.

I usually add bit more than it calls for. I should make a note on my card

[–] porotoman99@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've made a bunch of these using different berries since this was posted. The classic blueberry variety is good, and cherries are just as good, if not better. Cranberries are pretty good, but are very tart, so you can't eat as much in one serving. Blackberries tasted good, but were very seedy, so it wasn't as good texture-wise. Figs were terrible and I had to throw the whole batch away after 1 bite. Overall, a fun and easy recipe to try, and I'm planning on making more in the future.

[–] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing all of that and trying all of those, I’ll have to try it with cherries one day. I wonder if apples would be another good one to try?

I love figs so I’m disappointed to learn that’s not a good combination here, oh well. However now I realize I haven’t had fresh figs in a long time and I should find some.

Seeing your comment so much later really makes me happy that I posted this!

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

This looks great, for sure will try. Kind of similar to a cobbler.

Basically, yeah I suppose.
