Mixed Berry Crumble

Recipe Information

Total Time: 40 minutes; 15 minutes active | Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cups fresh strawberries, stems removed
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Heat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, salt and zest. Add the melted butter and stir to mix. Reserve. Place the berries in a 2-quart baking dish, and sprinkle with sugar, arrowroot or cornstarch, and vanilla. Toss gently to coat, until well combined. Crumble the oat mixture over the berries in the dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the juices are thick and bubbly all the way around the dish. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestion

Vary the flavors by adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the topping, or change the balance of berries in the mix. Substitute a gluten-free flour blend if you prefer. Serve this warm with a scoop of ice cream and you can't miss.
