Healthy berry crisp made in the slow cooker. The topping is granola instead of a homemade topping.
I can’t believe it’s the end of June already! With all the fresh fruit available I made this gorgeous Slow Cooker Light Berry Crisp. Yes, it’s a healthy recipe, and couldn’t be any easier to boot.
I used 5 cups of fresh berries, a squeeze of lemon juice, then for the topping I used my favorite granola. I did not add any sugar. Why do you ask? Because I knew I was going to top this beauty with low-fat ice cream, I love Dreyer’s half the fat French Vanilla, which compliments the tart berries perfectly.
How to make granola berry crisp:
You will need:
- 3 cups raspberries
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
- 1 1/2 cups granola
Directions:
- Rinse the berries and add them to the slow cooker.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the berries.
- Sprinkle over the granola.
- Place a paper towel over the crockpot, then secure it in place with the lid of the slow cooker.
- Cook on HIGH for 1 hours and 45 minutes without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Can I use different fruit in this?
Yes! Any type of fruit can be used. Try one of these next time:
- Peaches or nectarines
- Thinly sliced apples
- Blackberries
Such a perfect dessert for summertime. Light and fresh, with no guilt! I actually saved a bowl of this and at it for breakfast the next day (without ice cream!)

The directions in the article say to cook on HIGH for 1 hour and 45 minutes. However, the recipe card says to cook on LOW for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Which is it, high or low?
It’s high, thank you!
I’ve made it several times my whole family loves it!
Has anyone made this with just blue berries?
How much is a serving size?
Can this be saved for later?
Do you think regular oats would work instead of granola? Thanks!
It may, you would need to add some flavoring.
Can you use frozen berries?
I don’t see why not!
Yum!!!! That looks delicious and I bet it smelled heavenly!
Oh my goodness, this looks and sounds delicious!
