A simple, homey mulberry crisp featuring juicy mulberries under a golden, crunchy oat topping. Perfect for cozy evenings and easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh mulberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss 4 cups of mulberries with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Handle gently to avoid crushing.
  3. Transfer the berry mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir well.
  5. Slowly add 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter to the oat mixture and combine until crumbly and slightly clumpy.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the mulberries without packing it down.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and juices bubble around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Cool for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a crunchy topping. Melt butter and let it cool slightly before mixing to avoid greasiness. Avoid overmixing the filling to keep berries intact. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. A quick broil at the end can add extra crispness. For gluten-free, substitute flours with almond or gluten-free blend. For vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and brown sugar with maple syrup.
