Can I make Mixed Berry Crisp with frozen berries?

Yes, you can use frozen berries instead of fresh ones for Mixed Berry Crisp. There's no need to thaw them; simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time (about 3-5 minutes). Frozen berries may release more juice, but the cornstarch will help thicken the filling, ensuring the crisp remains just as delicious.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! To make the Mixed Berry Crisp gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use certified gluten-free rolled oats for the topping. The recipe will still hold up beautifully and be just as tasty.

How can I store leftovers?

Leftover Mixed Berry Crisp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. It can be enjoyed cold, at room temperature, or reheated in the microwave or oven for a few minutes to bring back that warm, freshly-baked goodness.

Can I make Mixed Berry Crisp ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling and streusel topping ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble just before baking. Alternatively, you can prepare the entire crisp ahead of time, refrigerate it, and bake it when you're ready to serve. If baking from the fridge, be sure to add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch square or 7×11-inch baking dish.
Wash and dry the mixed berries and place them in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss to coat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold diced butter and use a fork or your hands to mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the berry mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
Let the crisp sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Frozen berries can be used in place of fresh berries. Add 3-5 extra minutes to the baking time if using frozen berries.
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.
The topping can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set properly.
