It takes less than 10 ingredients to put together this fast and easy air fryer dessert. Plus, many of the components are pantry staples that are most likely already in your kitchen cabinets. Scoop up some fresh raspberries from your grocery store or local farmers market and get ready for a sweet yet tart slice of sunshine!

Get started by preheating your air fryer to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together six ounces (or about one cup) of raspberries with one teaspoon of corn starch and one teaspoon of white sugar. Pour the raspberry mixture into an air fryer cake pan and set it aside.

Next, get started on the crisp for the top of your dessert. In a food processor, combine a half-cup of rolled oats, a quarter-cup of walnuts, one teaspoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of chia seeds, two tablespoons of light butter and one teaspoon of white sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the berries before you place the crisp into your air fryer. Bake it in the air fryer for 15 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Watching your sugar intake? You can easily swap in a zero-calorie alternative like stevia or monk fruit extract! You can also try to replicate this recipe with another fruit or berry that you love, like blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, apples or peaches.

You can also serve up your crisp with some fat free whipped cream, ice cream or frozen yogurt. It is fairly common to find high-protein and low-sugar frozen desserts in many grocery stores. However, you can also try making your own with our simple guide. Learn how to make your own healthy ice cream!
