In August, I’m pretty sure this counts as a breakfast food.

Blackberry Crisp

Mix in a bowl a pour in a 9X13 pan:
As many foraged blackberries as it takes to fill the pan
some flour to toss the blackberries
maybe a little fresh ginger, finely grated or minced

Mix up this and spread it on top of the berries:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
2-3 Tbrown sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
a dash of nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
6 T softened butter
1 egg whisked up a bit

Bake at 350 until the berries are bubbling. Serve with vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of heavy cream or even just some nice cold milk.

If you do serve it with vanilla ice cream, do you still get to eat it for breakfast?
