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.
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.
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'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.
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!
