Skillet Mixed Berry Oatmeal Crisp is a delicious dessert that you can make in no time. I like to call this my “dump” recipe because that’s all you do — add the ingredients to a bowl and dump it right into an iron skillet before baking.
Strawberries and blueberries are my berries of choice for this recipe, but you can substitute almost any fruit you have on hand, either frozen defrosted, or fresh. The topping is always the highlight of this dessert with oatmeal added for some outstanding texture and taste. Baking it in a hot oven ensures a crispy crust on top and deepens the sweetness of the berries.
The berries gently stew together to almost jam-like and go so nicely with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, or with some freshly whipped cream. What a simple tasty treat.
