Easy Homemade Mixed Berry Cobbler with Oat Almond Crumble

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.

  • Extra fruit: This recipe welcomes it — more fruit = more juicy goodness

How to Store & Reheat

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream (our favorite)
  • Fresh whipped cream
  • A drizzle of cream or milk for a simple, cozy feel

FAQ

Can I use only fresh berries?
Yes! Fresh berries work beautifully — just keep the cornstarch to help thicken the juices.

Do I need to thaw frozen berries first?
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.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble it ahead and bake when ready, or bake it earlier and reheat before serving.
