Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 5 tbsp, cold and cubed unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mixed berries with 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp lemon zest. Gently toss to coat and set aside.
- Step 2: Transfer the berry mixture to a 9-inch round baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Step 3: In another bowl, mix 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup sliced almonds, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
- Step 4: Add 5 tbsp cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces.
- Step 5: Sprinkle the almond streusel evenly over the berries.
- Step 6: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
- Step 7: Remove from oven and let cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
