Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8 or 7×11-inch baking dish.
Place the mixed berries in the baking dish. Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon to the berries and stir gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. You can use your hands or a pastry cutter for this step.
Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the berry mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Make ahead: You can prepare the fruit filling and streusel topping separately and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble and bake when you’re ready.
Frozen berries: If using frozen berries, no need to thaw them. Just add an additional 3-5 minutes of baking time.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.
Substitutes: For a vegan version, use coconut oil or vegan butter. To make it gluten-free, swap the flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free oats.
