Triple Berry Crumble With Oats – Easy Berry Dessert
Triple Berry Crumble With Oats is made with mixed berries topped with a buttery cinnamon oat crumble. Toss the berries with cornstarch and lemon, add the oat topping, and bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- Oat Crumble Topping
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 –1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
- Triple Berry Filling
- 3 –4 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen, about 1 pound
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Butter for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole or ceramic baking dish with butter.
- Add the flour, rolled oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk until evenly combined and free of lumps.
- Add the cold cubed butter. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles large, coarse breadcrumbs with some crumbly pieces remaining.
- Add the mixed berries directly to the prepared baking dish. If using particularly large berries, roughly chop them first if desired.
- Add the cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the berries. Gently toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Scatter the oat mixture evenly over the berries, covering the fruit without pressing the topping down firmly.
- Bake the Triple Berry Crumble With Oats for 40–45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the oat crumble topping is crisp and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crumble to rest briefly before serving.
- Serve warm on its own or with vanilla ice cream or cold whipped cream.
Notes
You can use one berry variety or any combination of your favorites. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all work well.
Frozen berries make this an easy berry crumble to prepare outside peak berry season. Since frozen fruit can release more liquid during baking, make sure the filling is bubbling before removing the dish from the oven.
For serving, vanilla ice cream creates a delicious contrast between warm fruit and cold, creamy ice cream. Whipped cream is another simple option.
