Ingredients
  • 6 cups (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) Mixed Berries
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup, gluten-free Rolled Oats
  • 1/4 cup, packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup, cold, cut into cubes Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Preparing the Berries

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This helps to thicken the berry juices as they bake.

Making the Crisp Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, gluten-free rolled oats, and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure the butter is cold for the best texture.

Assembling and Baking

Pour the berry mixture into a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the berries. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.

Cooling and Serving

Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. The cooling time allows the filling to set up. Serve warm, with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

This recipe uses brown sugar, but you can substitute it with coconut sugar or maple syrup. Remember to use certified gluten-free oats. Berries are naturally rich in antioxidants, making this a relatively healthy dessert option. Feel free to experiment with different berry combinations.

    You can prepare the berry mixture and topping separately ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and bake.
  • What if I don't have almond flour?

    You can substitute with another gluten-free flour blend, like a rice flour blend or oat flour, but the texture may vary slightly.
