Description
Warm, buttery, and packed with juicy fruit, this Flaky Berry Crisp with Frozen Berries is a simple year-round breakfast or dessert that comes together in under an hour.
Ingredients
4.5 cups frozen mixed berries (do not thaw)
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for coating berries)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine oats, flour, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly; set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, toss frozen berries with 1/4 cup flour, granulated sugar, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla until coated.
4. Pour berry mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
5. Scatter the topping loosely over the berries without pressing down.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until topping is golden and berries bubble at the edges.
7. Let sit for 7–10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.
Notes
Frozen berries offer convenience and a balance of sweet and tart flavor.
Avoid overmixing the topping to maintain a crumbly texture.
Topping should be scattered rather than pressed to stay crisp.
Resting after baking helps thicken the filling.
Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt if desired.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days; reheat in oven to restore crispness.
Can be frozen baked or unbaked for up to 3 months.
