Healthy Pineapple Crisps
Ingredients;
1 whole pineapple, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups whole oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice (Or any juice. Even water will work in a pinch.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
How to make;
Prep. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8×8-inch dish (or pie pan).
Combine the oat mixture. Use a mixing bowl to combine oats, brown sugar, orange juice, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and eggs. Mix until all the oats are completely covered in the sugary topping.
Put the crisp together. Line the bottom of the pan with your sliced pineapples. Completely cover with the oat mixture, then drizzle melted butter on top.
Bake. Place your pan on top of a baking sheet to contain any bubbly drips and pop into a hot oven. Bake for about 1 hour, checking the pan after about 50 minutes to see if the oats are crisp and the fruit juicy.
Serve. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving, or store covered in the fridge and serve cold the next morning. (And consider drizzling a little milk, cream or half-n-half on top.)
