Ingredients
Berry Filling
- 8 cups mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter melted, or ghee
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all of the berry filling ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until well combined.
- Transfer the berry filling mixture to the prepared baking pan.
- Add all of the dry topping ingredients to a bowl, then stir together.
- Add the vanilla extract and melted butter to the bowl, then stir it together until clumpy.
- Spread the topping on the berry filling. It's okay if it doesn't cover it all. It's meant to look somewhat rustic.
- Bake the berry crisp until the filling bubbles around the edges and topping is golden, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm. You can also add a dollop of ice cream, or whipped cream.
Notes
- The mixed berry filling can be prepared with raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries using approximately equal weights for balance.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey and vegan butter or coconut oil in the topping to make this recipe vegan.
- Glass mixing bowls can be useful for combining ingredients evenly and visually monitoring the mixture.
- Consider using quality white baking pans for even baking and best results.
