Sugar Free Raspberry Crisp - 4 Healthy Ingredients

1/29/2016

Red, juicy, sweet, ripe raspberries are so divine. A gift from above.

We had a whole bunch of them so I decided to make a fresh berry crisp.

I recently had a conversation with a girlfriend about how she wants to make a crisp when she gets berries but then sees the recipes with 1 cup of sugar and is discouraged. I made this with her in mind using absolutely no sugar or oil and only 4 ingredients. This isn't your standard crisp oil and sugar variety yet still absolutely delicious. I asked my husband if he liked it and he said "oh you mean the dessert we ate in one sitting? Yeah, I liked it." Plus...Raspberries are:

Low in sugar: Good for diabetes or blood sugar control
Improve Brainpower: Improve Memory - Decrease Cognitive Delay
Good for Heart Health: Lower risk of heart disease
May Prevent Cancer: Inhibit tumor growth ward off or slow over 9 types of cancer.
Good for Digestion: High in fiber and water; aids in constipation relief and helps detox

Raspberry Breakfast Crisp - 4 Healthy Ingredients

3 Cups Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
1/2 Cup Medjool Dates (Soaked in boiling water 5 minutes; drained)
1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Pureed Banana
1/2 Cup Oats

Peaceful Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lightly coat deep baking dish with oil. Place 3 cups of raspberries in the dish.
In a food processer add the soaked & drained dates, pureed banana and oats. Process until well blended. Spoon mixture on top and lightly press down.
Bake at 325 degrees, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until topping is golden. Remove from oven, allow to cool 10 minutes and serve.

Notes: Any berry or your favorite fruit can be used. Use a certified gluten-free variety of oats for gluten-free. Soak dates in cool water for 30+ minutes if not using hot water, until soft. Add extra oats for more crumbly vs. moist texture.
