Berry Breakfast Bake Recipe and its Nutrition Benefits

Berry Good for you- Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries are just a few berries we can fill our stomachs with this spring and summer.  I am sharing nutrition information on berries and a delicious Berry Breakfast Bake Recipe and its Nutrition Benefits.  

It’s Berry Season. In All reality, it’s berry season for many months of the year.  In Florida, the Strawberries are ready in late January, and the farther north you go the berries began ripening month by month.  The strawberries are in season in May in Virginia and when you head up to Minnesota it’s mid-June to July for strawberries.

Blueberries ripen the same way.  I remember picking blueberries in Minnesota at the end of July and by Mid-August we were picking blueberries again in Wisconsin.

Berry Breakfast Bake Recipe  

Here is my Berry Breakfast Bake- oven pancake.  Perfect to serve guests with fresh or frozen berries. I just made it for my guests and they approved.

• ¼ cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 TBSP butter
• ½ cup flour
• Dash of salt
• 2-3 cups of Fresh mixed Berries are the best but I have tried it with frozen.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously coat the baking pan with the butter on the wrapper.  I used a 9×13 cast iron pan- if your pan is smaller you may need to bake longer.

Blend the eggs, milk, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl with an immersion blender until smooth or 1 minute. Then add the flour and salt and blend until well combined.  Pour batter into the baking pan. Add berries on top of the batter. Bake until it is puffed and set in the center for about 30-35 minutes.   Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes before serving with whipped topping. 

Strawberry Green Tea Recipe

• 1 cup of cooled green tea
• 6 large strawberries
• 6 ice cubes
• 1 packet of stevia, Truvia, or honey to taste.
• Blend in a Vitamix and serve.  It will be slightly slushy.
