Enjoy a delicious Skillet Mixed Berry Oatmeal Crisp with juicy berries, a crunchy oat topping, and warm spices — a perfect dessert.
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 it’s as easy as layering the ingredients into an iron skillet after tossing them together, and before baking.
Strawberries, blackberries and blueberries are my berries of choice for this Skillet Mixed Berry Oatmeal Crisp 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 crunchy brown sugar oatmeal as the star of the show. 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. It’s a great dessert for the pie lovers of the family, but much easier to put together.
