Ingredients
 

  • 21 ounces mixed berries, combination of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries (note 1)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Crisp topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, certified gluten free
  • ¼ cup oat flour, certified gluten free
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup dairy-free butter substitute, melted (note 2)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium sized bowl, stir together the rolled oats, oat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. 
  • Pour in the melted dairy-free butter and stir to combine. 
  • In another bowl, combine the berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and juice, and cinnamon, and gently stir until combined.
  • Spread the berry mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the berries.
  • Bake for about 35 – 40 minutes, or until the crisp topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.  Let cool slightly in the pan before serving.  Serve warm. 

Notes

Note 1: Use a combination of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and sliced strawberries.  You can use an equal amount of each berry, or adjust based on personal preference / what you have on hand.  Both fresh or frozen work well.  If using frozen, no need to thaw.
Note 2:  Use a non-dairy butter stick-type substitute, or a margarine-type substitute.  I use vegan Becel. 
 
Top Tips
  • Serve warm – Serve warm with a scoop of your favourite diary-free/vegan ice cream.
  • To make this all-year round, and super simple to throw together, use a bag of frozen mixed berries. 
 
Substitutions
  • If you aren’t dairy free or vegan, you can replace the non-dairy butter with regular butter.
 
Storage
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
