Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Wash and prepare the mixed berries, removing any stems or damaged fruit. If using larger berries like strawberries, slice them into smaller, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Gently toss to coat the berries and allow them to macerate, which will help release their natural juices.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, remaining maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture becomes a crumbly, slightly moist topping.
- Spread the prepared berries evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Sprinkle the oat and almond flour mixture over the berries, covering them completely but leaving some small gaps for the berry juices to bubble through.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
Tips
- • For the most vibrant flavor, use a mix of fresh, seasonal berries. If fresh aren't available, high-quality frozen berries work wonderfully. • Make sure to cut larger berries like strawberries into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. • Let the berries macerate (sit with maple syrup) for a few minutes to release their natural juices and intensify the flavor. • Don't skip the resting time after baking – it helps the filling set and makes serving much easier. • For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream. • To prevent a soggy bottom, make sure your berries aren't overly wet before adding the topping. • For a more nutty flavor, try adding chopped almonds or pecans to the crisp topping.
