Golden and Gooey Berry Crisp (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Option)

buttery & bubbly strawberry raspberry crisp (gluten-free)

summer fruit desserts don’t get better than this.

this buttery & bubbly strawberry raspberry crisp is the ultimate warm-weather treat—easy to make, made with better-for-you ingredients, and filled with juicy, jammy berries under a soft, cookie-like oat topping.

it’s gluten-free and delivers all the comfort of a classic crisp with a little more nourishment.

taste + texture

this crisp is pure fruit-forward bliss.

the strawberries and raspberries melt into a sticky, sweet-tart filling that tastes like fresh jam without being overly sugary.

the topping is buttery, golden, and soft in the center with crisp edges.

thanks to an egg and melted butter, the oat topping bakes into something that feels like a soft-baked cookie or warm granola bar—chewy, rich, and perfectly caramelized from the coconut sugar.

ingredient breakdown

you only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this:

• strawberries + raspberries: juicy, antioxidant-packed berries that break down beautifully while baking
• coconut sugar: lightly sweetens both the filling and topping while keeping things unrefined
• gluten-free rolled oats: the base of the crumble topping, adding fiber and texture
• almond flour: brings healthy fats and a delicate, buttery crumb (you can swap if needed)
• egg: helps bind the topping and gives it that slightly chewy cookie texture
• melted butter: for richness, bubbling edges, and a golden top
• vanilla + cinnamon: for warmth and depth in both the fruit and the topping

substitutions

this recipe is naturally gluten-free and easy to customize:

• dairy-free: use vegan butter to keep it completely dairy-free
• vegan: replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water)
• fruit: swap the berries for other soft fruit like blueberries, blackberries, or even sliced peaches
• sweetener: maple sugar, date sugar, or brown sugar will all work in place of coconut sugar
• almond flour: if you want a nut-free option, try oat flour (it will be slightly denser but still good)

what to serve it with

this crisp is amazing served warm straight from the oven, but here are a few ways to take it up a notch:

• top with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or greek yogurt
• add a dollop of whipped cream or coconut whip
• drizzle with a spoonful of honey or maple syrup if you like it extra sweet
• for breakfast vibes, pair with plain yogurt and a sprinkle of granola

storage

store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

it reheats well in the microwave, or you can pop it in the air fryer or oven to crisp the topping again. it’s also delicious cold, straight from the fridge!
