Weight Watchers-friendly Berry Crisp
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup strawberries (0 points)
- 1/2 cup blackberries (0 points)
- 1/2 cup raspberries (0 points)
- 1/2 cup water (0 points)
- 1 box sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (1 point for 1/4 package)
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats (6 points)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (0 points)
- 1/2 cup Splenda (0 points)
- 1/3 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (0 points)
Directions:
- Preheat oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prep the berries: Wash the berries thoroughly. Quarter the strawberries and set the fruit aside.
- Make the berry filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix and water. Stir with a fork to remove any lumps.
- Add in the berries and cinnamon, and mix well.
- Pour the berry mixture into a greased pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the oat topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, Splenda, and Greek yogurt. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more yogurt to get a crumbly but spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the crisp:
- Spread the oat mixture evenly over the top of the berries, leaving an edge around the dish uncovered.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling underneath.
- Serve: Serve warm. You can enjoy it as is or with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping for extra indulgence!
