Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter salted, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cups flour all purpose or gluten-free
  • 2 cups oats whole, rolled, gluten-free
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 6 oz. strawberries
  • 6 oz. blackberries
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 lemon juice and zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add the butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla to a large bowl. Mix with a handheld mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix until combined.
  • Mix in the oats using either a spatula or on low speed with the mixer until everything is well incorporated. The mixture may be a little thick and crumbly at this point depending on how soft your butter was.
  • Add the berries to a separate large bowl and sprinkle with the cornstarch and sugar. Toss to combine.
  • Pour in the lemon juice and add the zest. Toss until the berries are well coated.
  • Press half of the oat crumble into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the berries out over the crust in a single layer and then sprinkle the remaining crumble over the berries.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let rest for at least 3-4 hours or until it reaches room temperature. It’s best if served within the first 24 hours. After this time it can still be eaten for up to 2-3 days, but the crust will get more soggy.
