We are no strangers to a challenge, that’s why when we were approached by Steviva to compete in the Sweetin It-Up Blogger Recipe Challenge we were all in! We decided to whip up a delectable cast iron blackberry crisp to submit for the challenge.
Steviva has a wide range of products, we chose to use the Steviva Blend for this recipe which is a combination of stevia and an all natural gluten free fermented grain extra, erythritol. It was the perfect choice for this mouth watering blackberry crips. An added bonus when using Steviva Blend is that not only is it sugar free but it has a zero glycemic index making it safe for diabetics.

Did you know that when you cook blackberries on the stovetop with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and Steviva Blend, even for only a minute or two, they turn from their rich dark purple/black color to red? Who knew?? You will see for yourself when you try out this recipe, it’s kinda cool!
Not only did we go the sugar free route with the blackberry crisp topping, we also went the gluten free route as well by combining rolled oats and almond flour with butter, Steviva Blend and some spices. You may be missing out on the sugar and gluten with this recipe, but your definitely NOT sacrificing the taste. That a win in our book!!
How divine does this look?? Fresh and warm out of the oven topped with our favorite coconut cream whip, sweetened with Steviva Blend. It really doesn’t get better than this!
Don’t you just want to reach through the screen and grab yourself a taste? Or better yet, the plate, or even better…the entire cast iron skillet filled with the blackberry crisp? I wish I could right about now! Make it for yourself and you too can be in cast iron blackberry crisp heaven!
