I think e.g. ATtiny15 could be operated from just one 1.5V battery

"MSP430 Ultra-Low Power Microcontrollers
Simple 1.5 V Boost Converter for MSP430
A simple, efficient, low-cost, boost converter to take 1.5 V from a
single type-AA alkaline battery to the operating voltage required by
the MSP430 family of ultralow-power microcontrollers is described.
Expected battery life is up to 1000 hours.
