Fruit Pizza anyone? With a granola crust, of course!

We’ve really been enjoying our slower pace mornings lately, one of my new routines is making breakfast with my daughter.

She’s been all about muffins these days, partially because If You Give a Moose a Muffin is one of her favorite books. So most days, it’s been muffins, muffins, muffins.

I came across a delicious looking recipe over at Mindful Avocado and y’all know I’m a smidge partial to oats… so, I was excited to try the fruit pizza with granola crust.

It is an absolute WIN: easy, delicious and healthy! You can top with whatever fruit you have on hand, and it’s gluten-free!

Tools:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Make flax "egg": In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water. Let sit 5-10 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients for the crust.

  • Press down into an even layer in a cake pan.

  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from the cake pan. You can put it in the fridge to speed up this step!

  • Mix together yogurt and orange juice. Spread a thin layer on top of crust.

  • Top with desired fruit and drizzle with honey (optional). Cut into slices and serve. Leftovers keep in the fridge for about 5 days.

Notes

To make vegan:Substitute honey with agave nectar or maple syrup.

So, I vote you make it. It would also make a beautiful light dessert or snack!
