Broiled Grapefruit Crisp For Breakfast

I LOVE Grapefruit!! My little Jack Jack and I can eat 3 a day. The Tangy/Tart fruit with an underlying sweetness is so yummy to me.

I saw this recipe the other day for Grapefruit and just had to try it. It was SO YUMMY!!  I had it for Breakfast and it was very filling and super quick to make.  I even burnt my first one and made another one really fast!

Ingredients

• 1 large grapefruit, cut in half
• 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar {I used 1 T Sucanut}
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Dash of salt
• 2 teaspoons butter

Directions

• Preheat the oven’s on LOW broil and set the oven rack about 10 inches from the heat source. {or Hi, but only cook for 5 mins}
• Remove all visible seeds from the grapefruit and loosen sections from membrane with a sharp knife. Place grapefruit halves cut side up in a baking dish.
• Stir the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl; add the butter and mash with a fork to incorporate oat mixture into the butter. Spread about half of the butter mixture over the top of each grapefruit half.
• Cook under the broiler until the topping is golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.  ENJOY!

Grapefruit is a really “great fruit”, here are some health benefits…

• Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C
• The rich pink and red colors of grapefruit are due to lycopene, a carotenoid phytonutrient. Lycopene appears to have anti-tumor activity. Among the common dietary carotenoids, lycopene has the highest capacity to help fight oxygen free radicals, which are compounds that can damage cells.
