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.
Your fork is waiting.
- 4 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen
- 2 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats
- 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- vanilla ice cream optional to serve
-
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Place berries in the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, toss together all remaining ingredients: oats through salt. Spread oat mixture evenly on top of berries.
-
Bake until oat topping is golden brown and berries are warm and bubbly, about 45 minutes.
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

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!!!!

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.
Liz DellaCroce
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. ;)

I go in waves but I find berry crisps are even easier because you don’t have to peel or slice anything!
