Easy Berry Crisp
A warm, sweet dessert featuring mixed berries and a crunchy oat topping, perfect for weeknights or summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Berry Filling
- 2 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup use maple for a vegan option
Oat Crumble Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed
- 1/2 cup almond flour or sub with extra oats or all-purpose flour for nut-free version
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup remaining sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries with half of the honey or maple syrup and set aside to let the fruit release juices.
- In another bowl, stir the rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil or butter, remaining honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly and evenly moistened.
Assembly
- Spread the berry mixture in an even layer in a baking dish (about 8x8 inches or similar).
- Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the berries, gently pressing some crumbs into the fruit.
Baking
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and berry juices are bubbling.
- Let cool slightly before serving so the juices thicken — about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
If your berries are very tart, add an extra tablespoon of sweetener. For a thicker fruit filling with frozen berries, stir in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Serve with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
