I love using ripe strawberries, fresh blueberries, and delicate raspberries. Each berry adds its own sweet and tart notes. The lemon juice brightens the flavor and helps the berries shine. Honey or maple syrup sweetens the mix, so you can adjust to your taste. The oat topping is where the magic happens. Rolled oats create a crunchy texture. All-purpose flour helps bind the topping together. Brown sugar gives that nice caramel taste. Ground cinnamon adds warmth, making every bite cozy. Cold butter is key for a crumbly topping, while a pinch of salt enhances all the flavors. If you want to make this dessert extra special, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream melts slightly on the warm crisp, creating a delicious contrast. {{ingredient_image_2}} - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). - In a bowl, mix 1 cup of sliced strawberries, 1 cup of blueberries, and 1 cup of raspberries. - Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. - Gently toss the berries to coat them well and set aside. - In a new bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. - Mix the dry ingredients until even. - Add 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter. - Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until it looks like coarse crumbs. - Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. - Spread the berry mix evenly in the dish. - Sprinkle the oat topping over the berries until fully covered. - Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. - Look for a golden brown topping and bubbling berries. - Once done, take the crisp out and let it cool slightly before serving. - Use cold butter for the best crumbly topping. - Mix the oat mixture gently to keep it light.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup delicate raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 2 all-purpose flour
  • 1 3 packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 2 cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 serving vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), allowing it to warm up while you prepare the ingredients.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries, fresh blueberries, and delicate raspberries. Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and your choice of honey or maple syrup. Gently toss the berries to ensure they are well coated and set the mixture aside to let the flavors meld.
  • In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Add the cubed cold unsalted butter to the dry oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend until the mixture achieves a texture resembling coarse breadcrumbs, ensuring that the butter is well incorporated into the dry ingredients.
  • Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish, then spread the berry mixture evenly across the bottom, creating a colorful layer.
  • Generously sprinkle the crumbly oat topping over the berry layer, ensuring an even distribution that completely covers the berries.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is a rich golden brown and the berries are bubbling joyfully around the edges.
  • Once baked, carefully remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, just enough to set before serving.
