Breakfast Blackberry Cobbler {in a Jar}

Dessert and breakfast are like the meal that married yummy (and there’s two of them EEP!). I love the joining of sweet and I-just-got-out-of-bed best. Its the best way to start the day. But I also understand that having straight dessert for breakfast every day is not really the best way to a nice waistline. So, I like to come up with ways to get the good-stuff of breakfasts to be in a pseudo dessert. Hence my newest obsession: Breakfast Blackberry Cobbler {in a Jar}. Basically, it’s a little gift to myself in the morning, a little way to put a smile on my face and get my day going great.

Don’t tell your kids about this awesome breakfast or, the next thing you’ll hear is them asking for a jar-cobbler of their own. I’ve had requests for peaches, apple and even strawberry. While these are all good suggestions, truly, I like the best suggestion: MINE.

Since the breakfast blackberry cobbler is made with Nature Valley^TM Protein Granola, I actually don’t tell the kids no if they want some. If they want to chow-down on fresh fruit, granola and milk, I’m not going to argue with them. I am going to put it in a bowl for them, though, if the jar is still hot. Don’t want little burned fingers. Owie!

Ingredients for Breakfast Blackberry Cobbler {in a Jar}

• 1 1/2 cups of blackberries
• 1 1/2 cups of Nature Valley^TM Protein Granola – I have been using the dark chocolate flavor because it was sooooo yummy and chocolate is pretty good with blackberries.
• 1/2 cup of milk or cream – I actually used coconut milk once and it was good, too.
• 1 glass canning jar (mason, ball, whatever)

How to Make Breakfast Blackberry Cobbler {in a Jar}

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. In the jar, put a 1/4 cup of granola in the bottom of the jar.
3. Add a layer of blackberries to cover the granola.
4. Continue to layer the granola and blackberries until the jar is full.
5. Pour the milk (or cream) over the granola and blackberry layers.
6. Place the jar on a cookie sheet, then place in the oven for 20 minutes or until hot.
7. Enjoy!
