    Make this healthy berry crisp (gluten-free and vegan) easily in under 45 minutes. It's a terrific comforting breakfast for a crowd, or a healthy dessert the WHOLE family will love (especially kids!). Serve with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or yogurt for a delightfully tasty and easy treat.

    (This post is created in partnership with Bare Snacks, a brand I love and have been using for over four years!)

    Make this Healthy Berry Crisp easily in under 45 minutes. Gluten-free and vegan, it's a terrific comforting breakfast for a crowd, or a healthy dessert! || The Butter Half #glutenfreebreakfast #glutenfreedessert #veganbreakfast #vegandessert #thebutterhalf

    Ingredients needed for healthy berry crisp (gluten free + vegan)

    • Frozen berries (you can also use fresh and any type of berry you desire!)
    • Orange
    • Vanilla extract (I HIGHLY recommend you make my homemade Instant Pot vanilla extract)
    • Coconut oil
    • Gluten-free rolled oats (I like this brand)
    • Coconut sugar
    • Pure maple syrup
    • Cinnamon
    • Chia seeds
    • Bare Snacks medley pineapple coconut chips (I ALWAYS use this brand for the dried coconut in my crisps and granolas!)

    Step by step instructions to make this healthy berry crisp (gluten free + vegan)

    Step 1: Lightly grease a 9x12 baking pan with coconut oil. Add frozen berries, orange zest and juice, and vanilla extract. Mix lightly. Set aside.

    Step 2: In a medium mixing bowl, add the coconut oil. Melt for 45 seconds in microwave. Remove and add the oats, coconut sugar, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, dried coconut and pineapple chips, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spoon until all ingredients stick together.

    Step 3: Top the berry mixture evenly with the oat crisp topping. Bake on 375 degrees F for 35 minutes.

    Step 4: Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve with a dollop of favorite whipped cream or yogurt. I prefer coconut yogurt for a plant-based option, or Greek yogurt since it is full of protein and helps keep me full longer.

    Helpful tips for making berry crisp

    • You can use any frozen berry mixture. I prefer the triple berry medley of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. You can also use fresh berries if you prefer.
    • The ½ cup measurement for coconut oil is in its solid form. It must be melted to ensure the crisp topping has enough moisture to hold together.
    • If you prefer your topping more crunchy, let it bake for another 5 minutes until desired texture.
    • I like my crisp to have a granola-like crunchy texture, however, if you prefer a softer texture, swap some of the oats with almond flour. You would use 2 cups oats, and 1 cup almond flour in place of 4 cups of oats.
