Mixed berry crumble is a medley of your favorite berries topped with a sweet, buttery oatmeal crumble and baked until bubbly. It's the perfect way to welcome spring!
What do you do when faced with an abundance of fresh berries? Say...strawberries, blueberries and blackberries or raspberries? Why you make a mixed berry crumble, of course!
I always have a lot of fruit around to make things like Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries and Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries.
And, when fruit becomes dessert, life is good. 🙂
How to Make Mixed Berry Crumble
I'm going to walk you through the easy preparation.
You'll need about 4 cups of your favorite berries. These strawberries were so big I cut them into large pieces. Springtime often brings raspberries to the market too!
By the way, this happens to be an outstanding make ahead and freeze recipe and a great way to use those berries up when you have way too many on hand.
I love fruit all by itself. But, let's face it. A sweet, buttery crumbly topping takes it over the top. Bake it in ramekins or a baking dish...whatever you do just bake it!
Forks? Spoons? What's the proper utensil for this treat?
Well, if you add a layer of ice cream, I'd definitely pass out the spoons.
Or you can enjoy this mixed berry crumble with a fork. Either way, you'll be greeting spring with a smile.

Berry crumbles just cannot be eaten without ice cream. And I bet this would work really well with almond or another gluten free flour.
Marjory
I know it would! My daughter is allergic to almond...so I didn't try that one.

We love all crisps, cobblers and crumbles around here...and your mixed berry filling looks spectacular!! What a perfect spring dessert!
Courtney
Crumbles are my favorite spring and summer dessert. I can't wait to try this version!
Audra
To much berry and not enough crumble = one soggy dessert.
Marjory
It's definitely lighter on the crumble...but, the crumble can be doubled! 🙂

Could frozen fruit be used?
Marjory
Hi! Yes! You don't need to defrost first.

This was really good, but my berries must have been extra juicy. I used a combination of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. There was a LOT of liquid. I have a feeling the leftovers will be a soggy mess tomorrow. I would suggest increasing the amount of cornstarch in the fruit. Otherwise, the dessert was a hit with the family.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Lynn
Thank you for this amazing recipe!
I cannot have sugar, oats, wheat or corn. Do you think I could use quinoa, almond flour and Xylitol for the crumble?
Marjory
Hi there! I've never experimented with those ingredients for a recipe like this. However, if you google quinoa crumble there are some recipes that might be worth experimenting with!

Making this for New Years Eve! I had a bag of mixed fruit in the freezer and was tired of smoothies! Trying this recipe, hoping it comes out good! Can't wait to eat it with x-tra vanilla ice cream! Crumble is a favorite!!
