time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 3 minutes | Serves 1
About ½ cup mixed frozen berries or sliced autumn
fruit
½ to 1 teaspoon brown sugar
¾ teaspoon cornstarch
½ to 1 teaspoon brown sugar
¾ teaspoon cornstarch
Crumble:
3 tablespoons rolled oats
1½ teaspoons brown sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon or ginger
1 teaspoon light butter or low-fat spread, melted
3 tablespoons rolled oats
1½ teaspoons brown sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon or ginger
1 teaspoon light butter or low-fat spread, melted
1. Place the frozen berries or autumn fruit in a
small microwave-safe
mug (about ¾ cup)—they should almost fill the mug. Sprinkle over the

well, then spoon over the partially cooked fruit mixture. Place the mug
inside a shallow bowl (since the mixture does have a tendency to
bubble over) and microwave for 75 seconds.
