This low calorie single serve berry crumble is made with berries topped with a simple low calorie crumble. It is the perfect low calorie dessert to enjoy on a rainy autumn day. This crumble is super easy to make, coming together in just 30 minutes! Plus, it’s single serve so you won’t be tempted to overeat.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year and there is nothing better than a delicious, warm crumble to curl up with. Typically, crumbles are quite high in calories due to them containing lots of sugar, butter and flour.
I wanted to make a recipe that tastes just as delicious as a regular crumble but with far fewer calories. That’s when I made this 90 calorie apple crumble. I was (and still am) genuinely obsessed with this recipe!
I tried to make a berry version with a more authentic crumble and I think this is the BEST low calorie berry crumble that actually tastes like a regular crumble too! It has a delicate soft berry center with a crispy crumble layer.

Ingredients
- Mixed berries – I used frozen mixed berries which work best for this recipe. You can use fresh berries too but I find that the texture always comes out a little funky with fresh berries. Feel free to mix it up and use any fruit of you choosing for a fun twist!
- Lemon juice – This recipe calls for a little lemon juice to add a little flavor and balance out the sweetness of the berries. You don’t need to add lemon juice but I would definitely recommend you do!
- Stevia – Stevia is used to slightly sweeten the berries as well as the crumble itself. Stevia is the best 0 calorie sweetener to use for baking but there are a ton of other great alternatives too. You can use any granulated sweetener here.
- Plain/all-purpose flour – This recipe calls for plain flour to make the crumble topping. You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version. You can also use oats or oat flour here too.
- Oats – Only a small amount of oats is actually required. It adds a delicious almost crunchy quality to the crumble.
- Applesauce – The applesauce acts as a binder for the crumble topping. It is a super low calorie alternative to butter. You can also use low fat butter here but the calories will be a little higher.
- Cinnamon (optional) – Adding a dash of cinnamon to the crumble layer really gives it that Autumn dessert feel.

Top tips
Toss the frozen berries in a little flour – Before baking the berries, toss them in a little flour. This will add a few extra calories but it will improve the texture so much. The berries will come out thick and almost jam-like in texture!
Eat warm – This berry crumble is made to be eaten warm (duh) but don’t let it cool too much. I like to give it a few minutes to cool just so it doesn’t burn my mouth lol.
Top with ice cream – I loveee this crumble with some low calorie ice cream. I typically go for the Halo Top birthday cake flavor. I know it sounds like it doesn’t pair well but trust me, it is such delicious combo!

I am anxious to try the single serve berry crumble! If I make it into four ramekins, can I store the remaining in the refrigerator?
Hi Christine, you can definitely make them ahead. I would suggest preparing them ahead in their ramekins and secure tightly with plastic wrap, I wouldn’t leave them for more than 3 days in fridge so 3 servings may be better than 4. Only bake them on the day you want to eat them. Hope that helps!
