This is a wonderful berry crisp. I’m using a triple berry combo but using one type of berry will work too. So great to make when berries are everywhere and very reasonably priced. A fruit crisp is really simple to make. It’s so much easier to make than a pie. It’s skinny by using reduced-fat butter instead of regular and using a bit less along with less crumbly topping. Each serving has 310 calories and 9 grams of fat. For an added treat serve this charming dessert topped with fat-free frozen vanilla yogurt or light whipped cream. Mmm…mmm…good!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh blackberries
- 1½ cups raspberries
- 1½ cups blueberries
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup golden brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup reduced-fat butter, cold
- Fat-free frozen vanilla yogurt, optional
- Light whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl using a rubber spatula, gently toss together the blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and white sugar; set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the butter in pieces and carefully blend while keeping crumbly.
- Coat 6 (3 ½-inch) ramekins with cooking spray, see prep tip. Divide the sugared berries among them.
- Divide and sprinkle evenly over the berries the crumble mixture, about ⅓ cup for each.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the 6 ramekin cups on the pan.
- Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown. Top with a little whipped cream or frozen yogurt, if desired.
