In the summer, I love finding creative ways to use the wide variety of seasonal fruits, like strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries, that are so fresh and delicious during summertime. This quick and easy Berry and Almond Bake is perfect from May to August, but can also be made just as enjoyable with frozen berries during the other months. You’ll be shocked at how easy it is to make a nutritious and delicious dessert that your whole family will love! It’s healthy enough to serve as a breakfast treat as well.
