Easy Vegan Crisp Recipe

I want to share one of my favorite recipes with you. It has only four ingredients, and is super easy to make, even if you’re feeling really wiped out. We make it all the time in the summer when fresh fruit is abundantly available, and you can also make it year-round using canned fruit.

My mom and I have tweaked and altered the original recipe over the years so that so that it’s dairy-free and vegan. The original recipe comes from my Aunt Elizabeth, from when she was in 4-H. (Hi Auntie!) I baked it quite a lot in during my own 4-H days.

Even if you’re not allergic to dairy, you won’t notice this recipe is vegan. Plus, you don’t have to run to the store to buy milk—you probably have all these ingredients on hand.

My favorite fruits are strawberries and blueberries, so that’s obviously my favorite combination to use for this recipe.

We’ve also made it with blackberries added in.

I love how easy this recipe makes it to enjoy the flavors of summer.

In the past, we’ve also used canned cherry pie filling, and it is delicious. I’m on the lookout for cherry pie filling that’s free of food coloring, so if you know of any, please share in the comments!

I’ve tried making the recipe gluten-free by using oat flour instead of wheat flour. (After slowly adding gluten back, I’m still on a very low gluten diet due to my allergies and health issues.) It turned out pretty good, although it was a little soft. I’m thinking of trying it with almond flour in the future, so I’ll see how that turns out. Would love to hear if anyone else tries making it gluten free.

Without further ado, here is the recipe!
