    Saskatoon berry crisp recipe in a mug with a spoon in it, berries stewn around and a bowl of Saskatoon berries in the background

    This Microwave Saskatoon Berry Crisp (in a mug) is a great way to enjoy Saskatoon berry crisp in a hurry (within 7 minutes), and without heating up your house! And if you only have a small amount of berries, or only want to make a small amount of crisp, it's the perfect way to satisfy that craving without having to make a big portion.

    Saskatoon berry crisp recipe in a mug with a spoon in it, berries stewn around and a bowl of Saskatoon berries in the background

    Saskatoon berries have a very short season, which ranges from around mid-late July to early August (depending on where you live and the weather that year.) This Saskatoon crisp recipe was inspired by my other mug fruit crisps: Healthy Apple Crisp in a Mug and my Microwave Rhubarb Crisp (in a mug) on this site, and pairs well with any summer meal such as my Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats!

    🥘Ingredients

    You will need the following ingredients for this delicious recipe:

    Saskatoon Berry Crisp in a mug ingredients in glass dishes on faux wooden surface, labelled
    • 4 tbsp quick oats
    • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ tbsp brown sugar
    • 2 tsp cinnamon
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
    • 2 cups Saskatoon berries
    • ½ tsp lemon zest
    • ½ tsp almond extract
    • 4 tbsp light whipped cream * I use spray light whipped cream
    • 2 tbsp water
    • ¾ tsp cornstarch

    🔪Instructions

    Prep: Spray a microwave-safe mug with non-stick cooking spray

    Saskatoons in bowl with other filling ingredients, with a blue spatula

    Toss Saskatoons with ½ tablespoon of the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, almond extract, water, cornstarch, water, and whipped cream.

    *you can do this in a separate large bowl or right in the mug.

    crisp topping stirred together in glass bowl, with spoon

    In a small bowl stir in the quick oats, flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Then stir in the melted butter to create the crisp topping.

    Add the Saskatoon berry mixture to the mug, then spoon the crisp topping mixture over the top.

    *You'll need to press down on the Saskatoon mixture with a spatula to compress it a little and ensure it fits in the mug with the topping.

    Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 2 minutes and 40 seconds. (*if you like your berries softer/more cooked, then put it back in at 10-15 second intervals until it is cooked to your liking).
    The whole thing will reduce in size. Cooking time is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary.

    *Carefully remove from the microwave (I use an oven mitt) and let stand on a trivet until cool enough to eat. Be careful because it's going to be really hot at first!

    Enjoy warm or cool with an additional dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, more berries, and lemon zest, if desired. Or you could serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.

    📖Variations & Substitutions

    • Butter - you can use salted butter instead of unsalted, but you may need to add an additional ½ tablespoon of brown sugar to balance the sweetness and saltiness
    • Whipped cream- you could use regular whipped cream, but it will be more calories and fat
    • Oats - you can substitute regular rolled oats
    • Lemon zest - you could use the zest of an orange
    • Sugar - you can use white sugar instead of brown sugar, but it will change the flavor.
    • Almond extract - you can substitute vanilla extract but it will change the flavor.
    • Saskatoon berries - you can use fresh or frozen berries, but be sure to measure the berries AFTER they are thawed
