We’re in for quite the treat, friends! Summer is closing in on us and I am enjoying all the berry things as if I never ever want summer to be over. Which is obviously true. And my current fave is this Mixed Berry Oatmeal Cookie Crisp.
The best berry crisp on the block
The entire thing is so simple, yet has so much amazing flavor and texture that it’s honesty very, very hard to beat.
The filling is packed with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries (and if you’re feeling wild, dark sweet cherries) with a touch of sugar and a hint of vanilla. The oatmeal cookie part is honestly a show-stopper because, well, it tastes like a legit oatmeal cookie. Oats, flour, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
That’s all you need to make the most dynamite end-of-summer dessert.
Learn how to make oatmeal cookie crisp with vanilla berries.
And if you finish it off with several scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, it becomes something that absolutely everyone will rave over.
I mean if you think about it – nothing can go wrong when you combine sweet vanilla berries with crisp and buttery oatmeal cookie crumble. Served warm, ala mode.
I fully realize I am repeating myself but I cannot possibly explain how good this Mixed Berry Oatmeal Cookie Crisp is, so you’re just going to have to try it out irl.
