Description
A naturally gluten free berry crisp made with mixed berries under a golden, buttery oat and almond flour topping. It comes together in one bowl and one baking dish using simple pantry staples, making it an easy, foolproof dessert for feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
- Mixed berries (fresh or frozen): 6 cups
- Granulated sugar (for berries): 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice: 1 tbsp
- Cornstarch: 1 tbsp
- Rolled oats (certified gluten free): 1 cup
- Almond flour: 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
- Cold butter, cubed: 1/2 cup
- Cinnamon: 1 tsp
- Salt: 1/4 tsp
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toss the berries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Spread the mixture in a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Make the topping: In a bowl, combine oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Scatter the topping evenly over the berries.
3. Bake the crisp: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the juices bubble. Let the gluten free berry crisp rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Always check that your oats are certified gluten free. Frozen berries work great just don’t thaw them first; add one extra tablespoon of cornstarch. Toss the cornstarch well so the crisp doesn’t turn soupy. Keep the butter cold for a craggy topping.
Bake on a sheet pan to catch drips. Serve warm. Substitutions: swap almond flour for gluten free oat flour; use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy free version; try peaches, apples, or a mix of berries; add chopped nuts to the topping; cut brown sugar to 1/3 cup if berries are very ripe.
Storage: cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F for 10 minutes; freeze for up to 2 months. Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt. Make ahead: assemble a day ahead, cover, refrigerate, then bake before serving.
