Recipe Notes

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.

Try using any unsweetened frozen berries in place of the blackberries, or a combination of your favorites.

If you have a gluten sensitivity, you can easily make this gluten-free by substituting your favorite gluten-free 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 ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt for a decadent breakfast!
