Blackberry crisp with oat topping is a warm, rustic dessert made with juicy blackberries baked under a golden, buttery oat crumble. It’s simple to make and irresistibly delicious, especially when served with ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  2. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 tbsp lemon juice
  4. 2 tbsp cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
  5. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  6. 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  7. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  8. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  9. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  10. 1/4 tsp salt
  11. 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix blackberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract (if using). Pour into prepared dish and spread evenly.
  3. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter and mix with fingers or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the blackberry filling.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  6. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Use frozen blackberries straight from the freezer, adding an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to absorb moisture.
  2. Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for added crunch.
  3. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving.
  4. Don’t overmix the topping—leave some larger crumbs for better texture.
