Easy Vegan Berry Crisp
Whenever someone asks me for a healthy, easy, crowd-pleasing dessert recipe I immediately direct them to my vegan berry crisp! It’s the perfect dish to bring to a summer barbeque or winter gathering – it’s delicious served hot or old, on its own or à la mode.
The salty-sweet cinnamon flavors and crumbly texture of the topping, paired with the tart, natural flavors of the berries and their soft, cooked-down consistency is just so pleasing to the palette. I’m drooling as I type this and stare at the photos…probably going to go for serving numero dos.
Now, for the real question: is it a berry crisp, a berry crumble, or a berry cobbler?
Whatever you call it, it’s the MVP of desserts, if you ask me.
For the purposes of this post, we’ll go with crisp. But really, it’s such a fantastic recipe that’s sneakily quite healthy. If you’re aiming for a cleaner dessert, I usually make mine without refined sugar and gluten. I use a small amount of coconut sugar for the crumble, and Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1:1 flour, which I buy from Thrive Market. I just love a dish that allows for the natural sweetness of the fruit do the talking, and this recipe really accomplishes that. But if you’re good with normal cane sugar and flour, those can easily be used as well – dealer’s choice!

Without further ado, let’s get to my recipe for the best vegan berry crisp – ever!
Psst: it takes less than 10 minutes to prep, but it’s so good but no one will ever know how easy it is 🙂 Pro-tip: serve the berry crisp with some vegan vanilla ice cream to really knock their socks off.
