What is Berry Crisp

A baked fruit crisp: frozen mixed berries under a crumbly topping of oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.

How to make Berry Crisp

Tips from the cook

  • No need to thaw the berries: the cornstarch binds the juice. Fresh berries work too.
  • Only just melt the butter; if it gets hot and runny, the topping will not form chunks.
  • The filling is a little tart: add more brown sugar if you like it sweeter.

Berry Crisp substitutions

Out of something, or cooking around an allergy. Each swap was checked against a source.

Rolled oats1 option
  • Certified gluten-free rolled oats 1:1 by weight

    Coeliac UK notes a few people still react to avenin.

Almond flour2 options
  • Sunflower seed flour (sunflower seeds ground fine in a coffee grinder or processor) 1:1 by weight

    Slightly seedy flavour; higher moisture so it needs longer cooking.

  • Gluten-free plain flour blend (use a labelled gluten-free one) use about 80% of the weight (e.g. 2.4 oz for 3 oz almond flour)

    Drier and less rich; not a nut-flour texture.

Butter2 options
  • Vegan/dairy-free butter block 1:1 by weight

    Soft tub margarine fails in pastry and cheesecake base.

  • Olive oil use about 3/4 as much by volume

    Not for creaming or pastry; base goes oily.
