BERRY YOGURT CRUNCH
Yogurt, fresh berries, and a surprise ingredient give this dish a somewhat cheesecake-like flavor but with a fraction of the fat and calories. Let the berry-yogurt mixture chill awhile so flavors mingle and mellow. Make a flavor change by substituting instant white chocolate pudding mix. I've served this for dessert, but it's good as a breakfast treat, too!

MIXED BERRY ALMOND CRUNCH CRUMBLE
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To prepare filling, toss berries with tapioca, sugar, and lemon zest. Set aside. 2. To make topping, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, spices, and salt. Stir in butter and almonds, if using, with a fork. Coarse crumbs will form. 3. Pour filling into a 9-inch square glass pan (do not grease first). Using your fingers, form topping mixture into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch crumbs and spread over cake. Bake until filling bubbles and topping is light golden, about 55 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh berries whenever possible. Fresh berries have the best flavor and texture, and they're also more nutritious than frozen berries.
- If you're using frozen berries, thaw them before using. This will help them to mix more evenly into the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
- Serve the muffins with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, jam, and whipped cream.
Conclusion:
