Sweet blackberries topped with a buttery oat crumble comes together pretty quickly to make a Blackberry Crisp that is sure to please a crowd!
If you’re anything like I am then you like crispy food. Of course soft food has its place too, like – mashed potatoes, puddings, milkshakes and ice creams.
But if push comes to shove, I am all about the crunch! And the crunch of this crisp has my name, and hopefully yours, written all over it!
It’s as simple as this:
- In one bowl you’ll combine blackberries, sugar, flour and cornstarch.
- Stir to coat, then pour into a buttered 7 X 11-inch baking pan.
- In another bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, butter and canola oil.
- Pour the mixture overtop the berries, rest pan on a parchment lined cookie sheet, and bake.
- Remove from the oven when the fruit is bubbling up over the sides and the top is crispy.
- Allow it to cool.
- Add your favorite ice cream.
- Enjoy!
Nothing like a fruity crisp on a hot summer’s day.
I decided to go with blackberries simply because Dom brought home a bunch, but you can substitute any berry you’d like.
This blackberry crisp comes together quickly and clean-up’s a snap.
Before you know it you’ll be sitting outside on your quiet patio in your favorite Adirondack chair taking in the sun and hearing nothing but the gentle sounds of your very own crunching.
Not a bad day!
Buon Appetito!

Blackberries are my fave fruit so I can’t believe I haven’t thought to throw them into a crisp! I’ve got to change that!!
Oh yes you do! 🙂
This is such a beautiful dessert Annie. The blackberries in this crisp must taste absolutely delicious. And so easy to put together…LOVE IT !!!
Can’t beat that color!! Thank you, my friend! 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE crispy food – and having this GORGEOUSLY DELICIOUS crisp in front of me – without any serving bowls and just a spoon could be trouble cos I also happen to believe that sharing is overrated! 🙂
Hahahahah! You and I would get along very well! 🙂 Providing there are two of everything! 😉 Thanks, Shashi!!
I love crisps so much, and blackberries are so good! What kind of ice cream did you use on yours? It looks amazing!!!
That would be blueberry ice cream! So so good! Thanks, Kevin!
This reminds me of when I was a little girl. We would pick wild black berries and my mother would bake up a crisp with them. Looks delicious!
Those are some sweet memories!
I’m all about the crisp too, Annie and I adore blackberries. Mid summer they grow wild (although invasive) here, so we take full advantage. A crisp is a must! Delicious work!
Well that’s a wonderful thing to look forward to!! Thanks, dear!
Easy Peasy and delicious! I love crisps of any kind and blackberry is definitely a winner!

I absolutely LOVE all things crispy!!! And fruit crisps during the summer are EVERYTHING!! This blackberry version is not only gorgeous, it looks absolutely delicious!!! Pinned! Cheers!
Crisps are where it’s at!! Thanks for the pin, my friend! 🙂
I wouldn’t mind one bit to be listening to the sounds of my own crunching if this blackberry crisp was involved in all its buttery, sugary and fruity goodness. And will totally pile up the ice cream high:)
Nope. Not one bit! Yes to the ice cream piled high!! Thanks, friend! 🙂
When I was a kids we used to pick buckets of wild blackberries from the woods around our house in the summer. And this is such a great way to use them. I love crisps – they are so easy to make and so delicious – everyone loves them! Pinning!
That sounds like an idyllic summer! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I love crisps so much! Never made one with blackberries, now I want to! It looks so juicy and scrumptious, the kind of desserts that make you want to lick the plate 😉 .
The flavor will blow you away! 🙂
I love crisps Annie, and I make them quite often during the summer! I’ll certainly be adding this one to my list! It looks wonderful!
