Everyone needs a good berry crisp recipe in their back pocket! I’ve made a few berry crisps in my day, but to be completely honest – none were quite right. They were either too dry, didn’t have enough berries, or overly sweet. But this triple berry crisp recipe?? Well… I don’t mean to brag but, she’s just PERFECT! Made with 5 ingredients, in one bowl, with frozen berries (so you can bake it year-round!). I drew some inspo from my healthy apple crisp which was a huge hit last fall! And also my 4 ingredient peach cobbler which I can’t wait to break back out this upcoming peach season.
Why You’ll LOVE This Triple Berry Crisp with Frozen Berries
- Super Easy to Make: With just 5 simple ingredients, this recipe comes together quickly for a stress-free dessert.
- Versatile and Adaptable: Easily customize the recipe to suit gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, or vegan diets without compromising on flavor.

Can I Use Fresh Berries?
Yes, you can use fresh berries in this recipe. However, frozen berries are convenient and available year-round, providing consistent quality and flavor. If using fresh berries, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly, as they release less juice than frozen ones.
Can I Make Ahead and Freeze This Recipe?
Absolutely! This berry crisp can be prepared ahead of time and frozen either before or after baking:
- Before Baking: Assemble the crisp, cover it tightly, and freeze. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and bake as directed.
- After Baking: Allow the crisp to cool completely, then cover and freeze. To reheat, warm it in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs
