This mixed berry cobbler is one of those desserts we make on repeat all spring and summer long. It’s simple, cozy, and packed with juicy berries topped with a buttery oat and almond crumble that bakes up perfectly golden and crisp.
Whether you’re using fresh berries at their peak or pulling from your freezer, this cobbler always turns out delicious. The combination of strawberries and blueberries creates the perfect balance of sweet and slightly tart, while the crumble topping adds just the right amount of texture and richness.
We love serving this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream after dinner, especially when we have friends or family over. It’s easy, crowd-pleasing, and feels like the kind of dessert that brings everyone back for seconds.

Can I use only fresh berries?

Nope — use them straight from frozen.
How do I know when it’s done?
The topping should be golden brown and the fruit should be bubbling around the edges.
