Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

How to Make Berry Crumble Dessert

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly and set aside.
3. In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir until combined and crumbly.
5. In a baking dish (approximately 8×8 inches), spread the berry mixture evenly across the bottom.
6. Top the berries with the oat mixture, ensuring an even layer covers the fruit.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For an extra flavor boost, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the berry mixture.
• Ensure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the oats prematurely.
• Let the crumble sit for a few minutes after baking to help set the filling before serving.

Easy Variations

• Substitute different fruits like peaches, apples, or cherries for a seasonal twist.
• Add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the oat topping for added crunch.
• Swirl in a bit of almond extract for a nutty flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a creamy contrast.
• A dollop of yogurt for a tangy twist.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
