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. Vegetables don’t always go over with fireworks around here. But, fresh fruit is always a hit. And, when that fruit becomes dessert, life is good. 😉
Easy 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.

Hello! We’re sharing easy and healthy recipes the whole family will love! Why am I called the Dinner-Mom?
I’ll take a big bowl and a big spoon of this fabulous dessert. Crumble topping gets me every time.
Thanks Renee! I’m glad I have some in the freezer!
Look at all those juicy fresh berries! Spring is definitely here!
I absolutely love all the fruity recipes out today!
Berry crumbles just cannot be eaten without ice cream. And I bet this would work really well with almond or another gluten free flour.
I know it would! My daughter is allergic to almond…so I didn’t try that one.
I agree!! what a glorious way to usher in Spring with this mixed berry crumble!!! delicious!
Thanks Alice! I love fruit all year round…but, especially now!
I love it , thank you
Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
We love all crisps, cobblers and crumbles around here…and your mixed berry filling looks spectacular!! What a perfect spring dessert!
Thanks Liz! I’m so glad spring has arrived!
I love mixed berries made this way!
Thanks Cindy! It a favorite of mine too!
Nothing says spring quite like fresh berries! Your crumble looks delicious!
Thanks! So many good recipes today…I’d love a bite of all of them!
Ohhhh I would love this…..Love fruit and love the crumble!
Thanks! I love this combination too!
Forks? Spoons? Seriously whatever it takes to get this in my tummy!
It’s good to have options!
I say yes to a big scoop of ice cream! All those fresh berries look so fabulous!
I’ll grab two spoons!!!
Crumbles are my favorite spring and summer dessert. I can’t wait to try this version!
Thanks Courtney! I hope you enjoy it!
It’s funny, because my household is just the opposite. We love vegetables, but could take or leave most fruits. Together, we’d have a really healthy diet! haha. But seriously, there’s no way I’d take or leave this crumble. I’d TAKE it!
Thanks Lori! As a whole, we are getting better at veggies..but, fruit = dessert for me!
I go berry picking every summer, so I’m bookmarking this for later!
Lucky! I’d love to pick some fresh berries!
I absolutely love anything with a “crumble”. This looks so so good
Thanks Shaina…it’s one of my many weaknesses too.
Berry crumbles might be one of my favorite things to do with fresh berries. And we never forget the ice cream, so ours are always spoon-worthy!
Thanks Sarah! We always have ice cream in the freezer!
Who doesn’t love a crumble? Plus it’s a no fuss dessert and a good excuse to an enjoy a scoop of ice cream. No guilt because you have the fruit to balance it out!
To much berry and not enough crumble = one soggy dessert.
It’s definitely lighter on the crumble…but, the crumble can be doubled! 🙂
Could frozen fruit be used?
Hi! I have not tried the recipe with frozen fruit. It may be just a little too wet. If you try it, be sure to defrost and drain the fruit first! Thanks for your question!
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!
