Blueberry and Strawberry Granola Crisp
This blueberry and strawberry granola crisp is easy to make and even easier to eat.
A berry crisp is a quick and easy dessert that has a little bit of sweet, a little tart and a lot of crunch.
And when served warm with vanilla ice cream on top, the sweet cream from the melted ice cream covers the entire dessert.
Time to grab a spoon.
I especially like that making this berry crisp doesn’t generate a lot of dirty dishes.
The berry filling is mixed together in the same dish that’s used for baking.
