This berry crisp is so easy to throw together, it’s one of those lazy desserts that seem like you did way more work than you did! It’s perfect for weeknights and also special enough to serve to guests after dinner or with coffee. It’s so comforting, filled with berries and topped with a buttery oat topping! Oh and served with ice cream is the absolute best!

Fresh or frozen fruit?! Either one works great, use whatever you have. When blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are in season I love using fresh, but when they’re not or I don’t have access to fresh berries frozen works just as great!
