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!

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!

Milena | Craft Beering says
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:)
Annie says
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!
