Essentials for a Wholesome Berry Crisp

Producing a wholesome berry crisp is straightforward, and once you grasp the basics, you can explore various flavor combinations. Here are some fundamental considerations when preparing a berry crisp:

  • Berries: You can utilize fresh or frozen berries, with any combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries working harmoniously.
  • Oats: Optimal crispiness requires the right oats. Rolled oats or old-fashioned rolled oats are ideal, although quick-cooking oats can suffice if necessary.
  • Honey: Employing a natural sweetener is a simple way to enhance the healthfulness of any berry crisp. I chose honey, but maple syrup or brown sugar can also be effective.
  • Starch: Given that fruit inherently contains moisture, adding a small amount of starch to your berry crisp filling can prevent excessive runniness. I used cornstarch in my recipe, although all-purpose flour or gluten-free arrowroot powder would serve equally well.
  • Butter: Achieving a delightful golden hue and flavor in your berry crisp involves a touch of butter. This natural healthy fat boasts a neutral taste that complements berries. For those avoiding butter, coconut oil can be an equally effective substitute.
  • Nuts: For an extra layer of crunch and flavor, consider incorporating chopped nuts or nut meal into your crisp. I opted for almonds, but pecans or walnuts would also harmonize well in any berry crisp.

Triple Berry Crisp

This triple berry crisp is prepared using a medley of berries, rolled oats, and honey, offering a taste of summer’s bounty. While this recipe incorporates strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, feel free to customize the berry combination to your liking.

Ingredients

Triple Berry Filling:

  • 4 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Crisp Topping:

  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almonds, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a 9′ by 9′ baking dish, combine the berries, vanilla extract, honey, cornstarch, and sea salt. Toss together to ensure everything is well combined. (If using frozen berries, they can be added frozen, however, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to help absorb any additional liquid.)
  • In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, almonds (optional), cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  • Slowly drizzle in the honey and melted butter into the oat mixture, stirring to combine.
  • Cover the berry mixture with the oat mixture, ensuring that it is evenly spread over the top.
  • Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the fruit begins to bubble and the top is golden brown.
  • Once the berry crisp is baked, allow it to cool slightly before serving (about 5 minutes) and serve on its own or topped with a dollop of yogurt, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
  • Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
