Low Fat Plum Crisp

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

Low Fat Crisp
My older daughter prefers her plums raw; my younger one won't eat them at all. I only like them when they're cooked, as in this delicious low fat crisp. Enjoy with a scoop of low fat frozen vanilla yogurt.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds red plums, stoned and quartered
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp canola oil

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place plums in an 8-inch by 8-inch glass baking dish. Combine cornstarch and sugar and sprinkle over the plums. In a medium bowl, stir oats, brown sugar, flour, butter and oil. Scoop mixture on top of fruit. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until brown on top and fruit is bubbling.

Serves 6.
