Hi friends!

This healthy fruit crisp is a fun way to change up your breakfast routine. I use frozen fruit which means I can make it any time of year and I added in chia seeds and ground flax for a dose of omegas and some peanut butter for healthy fats

Use whatever fruit you want but my biggest suggestion though is to always include some blueberries if you’re serving it more selective eaters. The dark purple color helps camouflage the chia seeds and make them less noticeable.

Healthy Fruit Crisp served over cottage cheese and drizzle with peanut butter.

The great thing about this Healthy Fruit Crisp is that it works two ways. With only 2 Tbsp added sugar in the whole recipe, you can feel good about serving it for breakfast. My kids love it over plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt or cottage cheese and they’ll eat it both warm and cold. You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

  • Author: Lindsay
  • Prep Time: 5 min
  • Cook Time: 40 min
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: serves 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups mixed fruit (berries and stonefruits work best)
  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2–3  Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Place frozen fruit in a 9×9 pan lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with chia seeds.
  2. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, flax and stir to combine.
  3. Cut butter into small chunks and add to the flour mixture. Cut in with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  4. Add peanut butter and stir until coated with flour. Use your hands to mix everything together really well and crumble the peanut butter and butter so it combines with all of the flour and oats.
  5. Sprinkle crumble mixture over top of fruit.
  6. Cook at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
  7. Serve over yogurt or cottage cheese, or topped with ice cream.

Notes

For a sweeter crisp you could mix a few Tbsp sugar in with the fruit and chia seeds as well.

      I just made it with almond flour and it turned out well, maybe a little crumblier than it would with wheat flour. Super yummy still.

    Would using frozen fruits instead of fresh fruit work ? Would I need to increase the cooking time?

      I used a mix of half fresh, half frozen one time and the cook time was the same. I’d say check it after the prescribed time and then add more if needed but I think it should be about the same.

    We love this in our house! Our favourite is a 50/50 mix of fresh apples and frozen mixed berries. The kids love it plain or with yogurt (I haven’t given them the ice cream option yet :P). And I love it on top of oatmeal or by itself. This is a winner! Making half a dozen to stash before new baby comes.

    Hi Lindsay, this looks delicious is and I would love to give this a try. Do you have any suggestion as to how to make it dairy free? I’m guessing the texture migt be off if butter isnt used? But what do you think would be a close sub? Thanks in advance!
