Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600 g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries hulled and sliced, blackberries), fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons (24 g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour/gluten-free blend for gluten-free)
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1.2 g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and all-purpose flour. Gently toss until berries are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Toast sliced almonds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Remove immediately to avoid burning.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine toasted almonds, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until mixture clumps slightly.
  5. Pour the berry mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter evenly over the berries.
  6. Sprinkle the almond topping evenly over the berries.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and berry juices are bubbly around the edges.
  8. Cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If topping browns too quickly but filling isn’t bubbling, tent loosely with foil and continue baking. For less tartness, add a teaspoon of honey to the berry mixture before baking. Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. Butter drizzled over berries helps topping brown nicely. Can prepare in advance and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, adding a few extra minutes to bake time. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Frozen berries can be used; thaw and drain excess juice before mixing.
