How to Make Single-Serving Blackberry Crisp
Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.
Step 2: Add the frozen berries to a small microwavable bowl. Stir in the sweetener and cornstarch until combined.
Step 3: Cover bowl with paper towel and microwave (affiliate link) on HIGH for 1 minute. Check to see if berries are completely thawed, if not, continue microwaving on HIGH in 30 second increments until hot. (Mine were done after 2 total minutes.)
Step 4: Remove from microwave and stir berries and sauce. Top with crush granola bar.
Step 5: Before serving, top with dollop of lite whipped topping or scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, if desired.
Recipe Notes, Variations & Substitutions
I usually prefer fresh blackberries, but for this easy crisp recipe you’ll definitely want to use unsweetened frozen blackberries. The frozen berries will release more juice than fresh berries while cooking in the microwave, creating a lightly sweetened sauce for this dessert crisp.
No frozen blackberries? Try using any unsweetened frozen blueberries or raspberries in place of the blackberries, or a combination of your favorites.
Gluten free? If you have a gluten sensitivity, you can easily make this gluten-free by substituting your favorite gluten-free granola bar.
No granola bar? Substitute your favorite low-fat crunchy granola for the crushed granola bar.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this simple dessert plain, with a dollop of lite whipped topping, or a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Serve over 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt for a decadent breakfast!
