This berry crisp is the perfect patriotic dessert with red white and blue!! Topped with a crispy oatmeal topping, it's a crowd pleaser for those with dietary restrictions to enjoy at a cookout or BBQ.
Wash the berries and preheat the oven to 350° F. Slice the green tops off the strawberries and cut into small, bite-sized pieces. Lightly butter or oil the inside of a 13x9inch baking dish and place the berries inside. Toss with cornstarch and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix together oats, honey, seeds, salt, and oil or butter till well combined. Place the oat mixture evenly on top of the berries. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown on the top and bubbling on the sides.
Allow to cool, uncovered, for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with ice cream.
Notes
Cornstarch can be substituted for all purpose flour in a pinch.
Cooking times may vary so check your crisp around 40 minutes so the top doesn't get overcooked.
For dairy free, I recommend your favorite coconut ice cream or Oatly.
It's important to not use too small of a baking dish, otherwise the oat crisp to berry ratio will be skewed and the oat topping won't crisp up as much.
