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 Saskatoon crisp craving without having to make a big portion.

Prep: Spray a microwave safe mug with non-stick cooking spray
In a small bowl stir in the rolled oats, flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter to create the crisp topping.
Toss Saskatoons with ½ tablespoon of the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, almond extract, water, cornstarch, water and 2 whipped cream. *you can do this in a separate bowl or right in the mug.
Add the Saskatoon mixture to the mug, then spoon the crisp 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.
Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 to 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The whole thing will reduce in size. (*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).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 cold with additional dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, berries and lemon zest, if desired.
