The berries provide natural sugar along with antioxidants and fiber. This alone already makes this recipe a winner! The salt provides precious minerals and the fat comes from a combination of sweet butter, brain-enhancing MCT oils, and luscious coconut. The science is amazing for coconut oil and this is a fun way to get more of it into your diet! Just be sure to source a product made from real, pure coconuts. Ideally, you want to ensure your oil was made using cold-pressed technology so the quality of the fats is retained, especially the MCT oils that make coconut oils so healthy!

This delicious crisp captures the essence of nature’s flavor trilogy: sugar, salt, and fat. Typically when we eat this combination it’s pretty darn difficult to stop! Studies reveal that foods like pastries and chips are specifically hard to control because of this addictive combination our brains are wired for. But there is a way to upgrade the quality of ingredients so you can still enjoy life’s pleasures without sacrificing your health. The next time you want a homemade comforting dessert but don’t want to risk your health over it, try this crisp.
