Made with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, this gluten-free berry crisp is topped with a cinnamon-spiced oat and walnut topping.
Berry season is getting closer and closer by the week and I couldn’t be more excited! We take our blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries quite seriously around here and if you’ve ever tasted a freshly picked Michigan berry you’ll know why.

Every summer we pick pounds and pounds of local berries to freeze for later in the year to use in smoothies, muffins, pies, and more. Inevitably, one of the first desserts we make with our freshly picked berries is a crisp.
Topped with a cinnamon-scented oat mixture and plenty of toasted walnuts, each bite is the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and crunchy deliciousness. For added nutty flavor and texture, I made a gluten-free version using Bob’s Red Mill almond meal instead of all-purpose flour.
The result? Everything you love about berry crisp with the addition of a subtle nutty, toasty flavor from the almond meal. Think of it as berry crisp to the next level. Looking for other almond flour recipes? Try my almond flour blueberry muffins! They are a big hit as well.
Your fork is waiting.

While I have tried quite a few of your recipes with success we did not care for the walnuts and overall lack of sweetness.
Liz DellaCroce
Sorry you didnt enjoy the walnuts or lack of sweetness. You can always swap for pecans or omit the nuts and add more sugar. :)

Made this for a friend’s birthday. Was a big hit. Delicious. Right amount of topping for the berries. Will make again.

Monique @ Ambitious Kitchen
This is my kind of dessert (or breakfast?)! Since you used olive oil, I bet this would be amazing with a little basil in the topping or as a garnish. Or maybe some basil ice cream. YUM!!! LOVE it Lizzy.
Liz DellaCroce
Dude. I LOVE the basil idea!!!!
Janice Blain
Thank you!

My dad just revealed to me the other day that he LOVES berry pie. I had no idea. I’m going to have to spring this crisp on him too.

No way really? Berry is Rich’s favorite too. Pie, crisp, you name it. I like it because you don’t have to peel anything. ;)
