Ingredients
Berry Mixture
- 3 cups frozen mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegan butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Thaw Berries: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the frozen berries in a strainer and let them thaw for about 10 minutes to release some excess moisture.
- Prepare Berry Base: Transfer the slightly thawed berries (or fresh berries if preferred) into an 8-inch baking dish. Add the cornstarch and gently mix until the berries are evenly coated, which will help thicken the fruit juices while baking.
- Mix Crisp Topping: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, almond flour, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir with a spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated to form the crisp topping.
- Assemble the Crisp: Evenly pour and spread the oat and nut mixture over the berry base in the baking dish, ensuring the berries are fully covered.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the berry mixture is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vegan ice cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy your healthy and delicious berry crisp!
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats to keep the dish gluten-free.
- You can substitute maple syrup with agave syrup or honey if not strictly vegan.
- Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving to help it set.
- Feel free to use fresh berries if available, adjusting cornstarch as needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
