What you need to make Fruit Crisp for one

As far as equipment, you will need a small ramekin or mini dish. I’ve linked some options here. I also recommend placing the dish on a baking sheet lined with foil in case the berries bubble out of the dish a bit.

Here is a list of the ingredients you will need,

Berries or fruit of choice – like I said above, these can be fresh or frozen. If they are frozen, there is no need to thaw them!

Lemon juice – this will aid in thickening the cooked berries. Alternatively, you can use lime or orange juice.

Cornstarch – a thickener for the berries.

Honey – I used honey to sweeten the berries. You can substitute with your sweetener of choice.

Ingredients for the crisp topping,

Melted butter – alternatively, you can use melted coconut oil or ghee.

Brown sugar and granulated sugar – just a small amount is used to sweeten the crisp.

Vanilla – this is optional, but I find it enhances the flavor.

Oats – rolled or instant oats will work.

Flour – I used all-purpose, but you can substitute with oat or gluten free flour.

Cinnamon – just a dash of cinnamon really enhances the flavor and adds warmth to the crisp.

Salt – helps to balance the sweetness.

How to make Fruit Crisp for one

To make fruit crisp, simply stir together berries, lemon juice, cornstarch and honey in a small oven safe dish or ramekin. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugars, vanilla, oats, flour, cinnamon and salt until no dry flour remains.

Sprinkle the crisp evenly over the berries. Place dish on a small cookie sheet lined with foil and bake at 350 Fahrenheit for about 25-30 minutes. Fruit Crisp will be bubbly and the topping will be lightly golden brown.

Let cool for a few minutes before topping with coconut cream, whipped cream or ice cream. Dig in and enjoy!

This single serving of fruit crisp is so easy to make and is so delicious! The warm jammy fruit filling with the crispy topping is a match made in heaven and makes it easier to get more fruit into your diet. If you make this recipe, please rate and comment to support my blog.
