🥘Ingredients

For the Berry Filling

4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crisp Topping

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
3Gently toss until the berries are evenly coated, ensuring the cornstarch is fully incorporated.
4Transfer the berry mixture to an 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
5In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
6Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
7Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the berry filling, covering it completely.
8Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
9Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
10This allows the filling to set slightly.
11Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

📝Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure the oats are certified gluten-free. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first; add them directly to the dish and increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.
