Ingredients
Scale
Crisp Topping
- 160 g all-purpose flour
- 80 g rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 60 g light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 120 g vegan butter (room temperature, cut into cubes)
Berry Filling
- 950 g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 60 g all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat your oven to fan-forced 160°C (320°F) or conventional 175°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
- Crisp Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt. Rub in the cubed vegan butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles crumble texture. Place this topping mixture in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Berry Filling: Place the mixed berries into a 10.5″ x 7.5″ baking dish. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and vanilla extract, then gently mix with a spoon to coat the berries evenly, enhancing their flavor.
- Add Sugar and Flour: Sprinkle the granulated sugar and flour over the berries, then mix gently until all berries are evenly coated. This mixture helps the berries release juices and thickens the filling during baking.
- Assemble: Evenly spread the chilled crumble topping over the berry mixture, covering the filling completely for a crisp texture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish on an aluminum or regular baking sheet to catch any overspill and help the crisp bake evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
- Serving and Storage: Allow the crisp to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving warm. Leftovers can be covered tightly with plastic wrap or foil, or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use granulated sugar alternatives if you prefer less refined sugar.
- Frozen berries can be used directly without thawing, but fresh berries provide the best texture.
- The lemon juice brightens the berry flavors and balances sweetness.
- If you want a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
