Need Blueberry Crisp Recipe

[traci june]

Does anyone have a fruit crisp recipe that is very low in calories. I'm craving sweets (possibly due to this icky weather) and want to make a warm, but light treat for tonight. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

There were a bunch of great crisp and cobbler recipes in the July 2000 issue, including a blueberry one that I made that was great. Sorry I don't have the issue in front of me but maybe someone else does and can post.

There were also a bunch of crisp recipes in October 2000 (all apple-based, I believe).

Any sort of crisp will do, just looking for hints to make the topping. The key here is low cal, as I'm doing Weight Watchers and I'm low on points! (eek!)

I just wanted to thank Curleytop for posting the Blueberry Crisp from Prevention Mag. I finally got around to trying it last night. It was delish. I know there was been talk lately about soupy cobblers/crisps but the filling set up fine. The topping was like a warm oatmeal cookie. Yum. It was the perfect dessert for the cool nights we've been having. The only changes, I used light butter (it's what I had on hand) and I only used 5 TBS. Thanks again for a great recipe!

Hi Traci June,

I do WW as well. I found this on a WW support board and have heard may people rave about it.

-----------------------

1 1/2 - 2 C blueberries
1/4 C rolled oats
3 TB splenda
1 TB cornstarch
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Spray two small oven proof bowls with non-stick spray. Mix 2 TB splenda and cornstarch together in small bowl. Pour over blueberries, mixing gently to coat. Divide blueberry mixture into the two sprayed bowls. Mix together oats, 1 Tb splenda and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the two bowls of blueberries. Bake @ 375@ for 25 minutes.

2 pts. per bowl

EW 2002 had a Cherry-Almond Crumble that is a great crisp. There's only 1 T. of butter and 1 T. of oil.

However, I've made it with blueberries and left out the 1 T. of oil, just adding another T. of orange juice concentrate.

It's really good and really really low fat for crisp.
