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.

In addition to this dessert being easy to make, and delicious, I love that it doesn’t generate a lot of dirty dishes.

The berry filling is mixed together in the same dish that’s used for baking.

About this Recipe

This recipe is made with strawberries and blueberries, and the crisp is topped with an easy homemade streusel.

About the Streusel Topping

Streusel is a crumbly topping for desserts such as cakes, muffins, pies, or ice cream.

The streusel ingredients in this recipe include sliced almonds, brown sugar, butter, salt, flour and an added bonus of granola.

About Serving

This crisp can be served with or without ice cream.

When served with vanilla ice cream, the tartness of the berries tastes heavenly with the melted ice cream.

This delicious dessert can be made ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator and warmed up in the microwave just before serving…then topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Berry Filling – strawberries, blueberries, lime, sugar, and coarse or sea salt

Streusel Topping – granola, sliced almonds, brown sugar, butter, salt and flour

Baking Dish – 1.3-quart oval baking dish; an 8 x 8-inch 2-quart baking dish should also work well
