Ingredients
4 cups fresh mixed blueberries and raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the fruit gently until evenly coated.
Transfer the berry mixture into a greased nine-inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, and remaining sugar.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the oat mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the fruit juices bubble and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter remains very cold to achieve the perfect crumbly texture. You can substitute coconut sugar for granulated sugar if desired. For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free oats and almond flour. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
