I am always on the hunt for a delicious and nutritious breakfast option, because for me, that is the hardest meal of the day! So when I read about Pichuberry Puree, I knew I'd found my new go-to. It's sweet - just like other berries - and is so versatile, it's perfect for mixing into smoothies, or other recipes.

The Pichuberry is native to the highlands of Peru, and is an amazing source of Vitamin E, A, P, and the B-complex vitamins - B1, B6, and B12. By eating only 3 ounces of this power fruit, you’ll meet 37 *percent of your daily required vitamin A, 13 percent of your required niacin, 18 percent of your recommended vitamin C, and 39 percent of your vitamin D requirement. Pichuberries also have a high content of phenolic compounds, which are a natural antioxidant.

I decided to use Pichuberry Puree, which I found at my local Walmart in the frozen berry section, to create a breakfast that would be good for me, while also satisfying my early morning sweet tooth. This Berry Breakfast Pie is so easy to make, and I must say, it's absolutely delicious! If your mornings are always rushed, you could probably even freeze the pie beforehand, so it's ready whenever you are.

Crust Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup Quick Oats

1/2 cup or 1 stick of Butter

2 tbsp Raw Honey

1 tsp Vanilla

1/4 cup Chia Seeds

additional spices and nuts as desired

Sauce Ingredients:

2 packets of Pichuberry Puree

1 cup Greek or Plain Yogurt

Toppings:

Whipped Topping of choice

Fresh Berries

First, in a mixing bowl, stir together 1 stick of very soft or melted butter, 1 1/2 cups Quick Oats, 2 tbsp raw honey, 1 tsp vanilla, and any chopped nuts or spices you want to add. I went with chopped pecans, 1/2 cup chia seeds, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Once your crust ingredients are well blended, press them into a greased pie pan. Bake for 45 min at 350°.

Just before your crust has finished baking, combine your frozen (do not thaw) Pichuberry Puree and yogurt in a blender. It should form a thick, smoothie texture.

Once your crust has browned all the way to the center, and is firm, it is finished! I had to check mine a few times to make sure. Then, just add your Pichuberry Puree + Yogurt smoothie in a thick layer, and top it off with your whipped topping and fresh berries!

Be sure to let your crust cool completely, before applying your toppings, if you want it to be more presentable. If you're going to eat right away, then enjoy while it's still warm and the puree is nice and cool!

I'd love to know if you give this recipe a try! Be sure to check and see if Pichuberry Puree is available at your local Walmart Store or Walmart Grocery!
