Yes, tomorrow is FREE Pastry Day at Starbucks. You can get yours by showing this coupon (even just on your phone) before 10:30am tomorrow when you purchase any drink.
But this post isn’t about Starbucks pastries…it’s about making your own. And they can be just as fast and simple and delicious. You can grab some to go with your home-brewed morning coffee and skip the $6 breakfast out. And I promise, this tastes even better.
I started out calling this “pie” but really, it isn’t like pie at all. It’s kind of like a scone or coffee cake; perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ok, so go get your free pastry tomorrow. I will too. But then, on Wednesday or this weekend, make this instead!
Better than Free Cranberry Pastry
- 2 cups cranberries/blueberries or combination
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Evenly spread out cranberries, blueberries and walnuts on the bottom of an 9″ round pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.
- Pour batter over the fruit/nut mix.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Let cool before digging in.
FYI, this pastry is very crumbly and probably won’t cut into perfect slices – just embrace it.
