Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (450g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), fresh or frozen
- ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
- ⅓ cup packed (70g) brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, gently toss 3 cups (450g) of mixed berries with ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine ½ cup (45g) rolled oats, ⅓ cup (70g) packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour. Cut in 6 tablespoons (85g) softened unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the berry mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the berries without packing it down.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until juices bubble and topping is golden brown with crunchy bits. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes to thicken juices and firm topping.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
Use fresh or thawed berries to avoid watery crisp. Mix butter into topping just until crumbly to avoid dense doughy texture. Adjust sugar based on berry sweetness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Lemon zest brightens flavor. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free ice cream. Adding nuts or spices like cardamom or ginger can add texture and aroma.
