As I may have mentioned, the strawberries at our CSA farm are at their peak right now and I’ve been looking for ways to use them since the very ripe ones don’t last but a few days, if that. The strawberry ice cream recipe was a smashing success and we’ll be making more of that this weekend, but I’ve got the hankerin’ to use some berries for breakfast tomorrow. We’ve just been eating them as-is or with yogurt, but with just a little more creativity, I’m sure a great breakfast is in my future — with a berry on top.
Berry muffins sweetened with agave could do the trick … we actually have some store-bought (gasp!) blueberries too, so these would be delightful. Or maybe these oatmeal strawberry muffins are what would make my world go ’round….
Maybe I’ll just toss some in a strawberry banana smoothie for Owen and Keith, while I partake in my favorite (bananaless) smoothie. I’ll just use strawberries instead of cherries … done!
If I’m feeling decadent tomorrow, perhaps I’ll make these strawberry crepes with honey sauce for the family … can you make crepes with spelt flour…?
It’s been a while since I’ve made a quick bread and this strawberry bread (with lots of cinnamon) has me feeling inspired. It would need a bunch of tweaking to make it work with fresh berries and less sugar or an alternate sweetener, but I just might be up to the challenge.
