Ingredients

Almond Topping Ingredients:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (use gluten-free oats if making this recipe GF)
  • 1/2 cup almond meal or all-purpose flour (or any favorite flour)
  • 1/3 cup chopped Blue Diamond Oven Roasted Sea Salt Almonds
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Berry Almond Crisp Ingredients:

  • 5-6 cups fresh berries (I used a combination of blackberries blueberries, raspberries and chopped strawberries)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • optional: 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 batch almond topping (see below)

Instructions

To Make The Almond Topping:

  • Stir all ingredients together until combined, mixing them together with your fingers if needed.  Set aside.

To Make The Berry Almond Crisp.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Prepare the almond topping (see above).
  • Pour the berries into an 8 x 8-inch (or 9 x 9-inch) baking dish.  Sprinkle evenly with cornstarch and lemon juice (and almond extract, if using), and toss until evenly combined.  Sprinkle the oat crisp mixture evenly on top of the berries.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is crisp and golden and the fruit is bubbling.  Serve immediately.  Or let the crisp cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

Feel free to mix in some extra sweetener (of your choice) with the berries before baking, if you like a super sweet crisp.  But I felt like the berries were plenty sweet on their own.
