Am crazy about Strawberries. I think they are the best fruit that God has ever made:-P. The fruit by itself is not only a treat to the eyes,but great in taste too. They look so cool –a fruit which is something like a heart shaped valentine and not to forget they contain high levels of Vitamin C too.
Ummm….Don’t they look heavenly????
I picked up almost three pounds of strawberries and kept thinking what to make.Before I could come up with any recipe,I had already finished eating half of them. After reading Anudivya?s Banana Popsicles I was tempted to make Strawberry Chocolate dip which would be on similar lines.
In the meanwhile,I was going through Taste of Home,a book that I had picked up long back and found a different yet interesting recipe called Oat-fashioned Strawberry Dessert.The name actually amused me alot. I had made Scandinavian Pecan Cookies earlier with the help of this book. So I had the confidence of going ahead with this as I didnt want to waste the yummy berries.
I did add few ingredients as per my choice and here it is
Ingredients:
Fresh Strawberries 4 cups(sliced)
Whole wheat flour 1 cup
Quick cooking Oats 1 cup
Brown Sugar 1 cup
Baking Soda 1tsp
Cold Butter 12 tbsp
Sugar 2 tbsp
Salt 1/8tsp
Ground Cinnamon 1tsp
Pecans 1/2 cup (chopped)
Cashewnuts and Pistachios 1/2 cup (chopped)
Method:
1.In a large bowl,combine flour,oats,brown sugar,baking soda,Pecans,Cashews,Pistachios and salt.
2.Cut and add butter and mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3.Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for the topping.
4.Pat remaining crumb mixture into a greased 9 inch square baking pan.
5.In a bowl,combine sugar,Strawberries and Cinnamon powder.
6.Spoon over the prepared crust.
7.Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture.Bake at 350F until golden brown.Serve warm.
I couldn’t stop taking another one….
It took me 35mins for baking.Fresh berries should always be refrigerated and washed before use.This goes well with a scoop of Vanilla Icecream too….yummy!
Looks so colorful,healthy and yummy…
They are definitely one of the most beautiful things on earth! No fresh ones here right now (if I’m eating seasonally and locally,that is.) But I have a ton in the freezer from last summer!
