Equipment

11x8" Casserole Dish

Ingredients

6 cups frozen berry blend blueberries, blackberries and raspberries (a strawberry blackberry blend is great too, go with your favorite frozen berry blend)
¼ cup unbleached flour can sub with multipurpose gluten-free flour
¼ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar (coconut sugar will give the topping a more rich caramel color and flavor)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1 cup unbleached flour can use GF all-purpose flour here
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon lemon zest you can use up to a teaspoon for more citrus flavor
1 tablespoon real maple syrup
½ cup slivered almonds or chopped walnuts or pecans
½ cup cold olive oil butter blend (in the tub) or regular cold butter, sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl. Toss to coat berries and pour into a greased 11x8" casserole dish.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, place remaining ingredients for the crumbled topping. Mix on low-medium speed until mixture sticks together with a crumbly texture.
Place topping over the berries and bake for 45 minutes to 50 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Enjoy with your favorite vanilla ice cream or topping of choice.

Notes

Recipe Tips

Use rolled oats. It’s better to use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats for the crisp topping. The larger oats provide a better texture and give the crumble a heartier consistency.

Cover to prevent burning. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil if you notice the topping is overbrowning. This allows the berries to continue cooking and helps protect the topping from burning.

Make mini berry crisps. Instead of assembling the crumble in a casserole dish, layer the berries and topping mixture in oven-safe ramekins before baking.
