1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan option)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss the mixture to coat the berries evenly, taking care not to mash them. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Pour the melted butter (or coconut oil) into the dry mixture and stir until crumbly and combined.
Spread the berry mixture evenly in a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Then, sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
