Who loves cherries? I do, I do!

I know we are nearing the end of summer (I hate saying that), so I’m going to eat all the cherries I can while they are still available.

I love to eat cherries on my overnight oats, and they are also delicious when they are tucked inside vegan hand pies.

An easy recipe for cherry crisp made in the microwave.

And there’s nothing I like more than a good fruit crisp – cherry crisp, apple crisp, any crisp! I was wondering if I could make an individual cherry crisp in the microwave – just a single serving to satisfy a craving. So I tried it, and yes, you can!

It just takes 90 seconds, and the cherries get nice and juicy, and there’s a buttery, sugary, oat topping, and it’s super good. And I just ate one serving, and that was it! Craving satisfied.

Tips to make this microwave cherry crisp a success:

Every microwave is different. I put mine at 70% power because it gets hot! I didn’t want cherries exploding, or oats catching on fire. You know how I love to set things on fire in my appliances. :( Your microwave may be different, but I would still recommend starting out with reduced power and keeping an eye on it.

Letting it sit and cool down is important so that the oats soften up a bit, and that way the cherries won’t burn your mouth. The oat topping does not get crisp like in the oven, but it’s still really good, and a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth in a hurry!

    Can you please tell me where you got that spoon from?
    Growing up, my grandmother had that exact style. I inherited what was left of the set when she died, and I was hoping to get some replacements.

    I never buy cherries… I have a weird aversion from kid’s tylenol I think… maybe I should try again.

    What a great recipe! I’m all about single-serving desserts. If made a whole batch of cherry crisp, I would for sure eat the whole thing! Such a wonderful idea, and so easy, too!

    I LOVE this idea! I’m far more into single-serving desserts than making a huge tray of treats, because: calories. I like being able to resist leftover dessert by just not having anything there to resist. I love me some cherries and am absolutely up for this microwave deeeessert!

    I’m on a cherry kick as well! I went back to my parent’s house a few weeks ago and completely demolished the big bag they had. Now I’m wishing I had saved some to make this! Can’t wait to try it with cherries and maybe switch things up with other fruits as well :)

    I just love cherries! I don’t know what I get more excited during the summer time, cherries being in season or peaches. So smart doing a single serving cherry crisp. And you can make in the microwave? The best! Now I am always 10 minutes away from a mini cherry crisp.

    I love cherries! When I got home the other day, the first thing I bought at the grocery store was a big bag of cherries. I can’t get enough of them right now. This crisp looks insanely delicious! I’d love it for a nice sweet pick-me-up mid afternoon. I love cherry clafoutis -that’s my all-time favourite cherry dessert :)
