Healthy Berry Crisp

(4 servings)

Ingredients for the Fruit Filling:

• 24 oz organic berries, thawed but not drained (I used a medley from Trader Joe’s with organic strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries)

Ingredients for the Crisp Topping:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 Tbsp whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
• 2 Tbsp agave syrup- or honey
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9 (or 8) inch baking dish.

For the fruit filling: Pour the thawed berries + any accumulated juices into the prepared baking dish.

For the crisp topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir with a fork until combined. Mix in the butter (or coconut oil), honey (or agave) and vanilla extract. Stir until well-incorporated.

Sprinkle crisp topping evenly over the fruit filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fruit filling is hot & bubbly and the crisp topping is golden brown.
