Serves6

Ingredients

3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, divided
1/2 cup low-fat milk (1%)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 firm-ripe peaches, nectarines, pears or apples, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2 cups)
4 ounces raspberries, blackberries, or halved hulled strawberries
powdered sugar or maple syrup, to taste

Instructions

Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.  
In an ovenproof 10-inch skillet, warm oil over medium-high heat. Tilt pan to coat bottom and sides with oil, then stir in peaches, nectarines, pears or apples. Sauté about 30 seconds until fruit is glistening.
Then stir in 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and sauté until sugar melts and fruit looks glossy, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat under pan.
In blender, whirl milk, flour, eggs, remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, baking powder and almond extract until blended.
In pan, immediately pour egg mixture over fruit. Scatter berries on top of batter and place pan in oven. Bake until puffed and golden, 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and cut into wedges. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup as desired.
