Healthy Granola Berry Crisp
This healthy granola berry crisp is quick and easy to make and has just 4 ingredients!
Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend! It was a beautiful weekend here in Maine, so I enjoyed plenty of time outside. On Saturday I did a 3 hour bike ride on a favorite route that I had not been on since my Ironman Lake Placid training last summer. The first 20 miles of the ride has a lot of elevation. One of the roads on it is aptly named "Long Hill Road". Trust me, it is a long hill, but nothing like the climb near White Face mountain!
On Sunday, I had to conjure up every ounce of motivation to do my long run. I'm not sure why, but my desire to run has been really low this summer. However, I managed to pound the pavement for the one hour and forty minutes that was scheduled on my training plan. Of course when I was done, I was so happy that I had done it, despite being reluctant to start.
The long ride and run over the two days led to one thing: hunger! I was in the mood to do some baking, but not in the mood to go to the store. So, I poked around the pantry and found some granola and coconut. Then, I took a look in the freezer and discovered a nice big bag of mixed frozen berries. I knew exactly what I was going to whip up...a healthy granola berry crisp!
