Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour or certified gluten-free all-purpose flour

4 cups fresh blackberries and blueberries, mixed

3/8 cup packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons cold-pressed, unrefined coconut oil at room temperature

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 Zest of 1 fresh lemon

1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)

pinch Pinch of fine-grain sea salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the blackberries and blueberries with the lemon zest and granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly. Spread this berry mixture into a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and sea salt. Stir with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the room-temperature coconut oil to the dry mixture. Using the back of a fork, press and break the oil into the dry ingredients, working it in until the oil is fully dispersed throughout and the mixture resembles coarse, chunky crumbs.
Distribute the crumble topping evenly over the berry mixture, breaking up any large pieces by hand and leaving some texture. Do not press down or compact the topping.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the crumble topping becomes golden brown and the fruit juices bubble visibly around the edges of the dish.
Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the fruit filling to set slightly while the topping remains crispy.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4

Blackberry and blueberry are both in season and widely stocked at all Charlotte chains—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger banners carry them fresh June through August at reasonable prices. The ingredient list is straightforward pantry staples, though the cost per serving will depend heavily on whether berries are on sale; expect $3–4 per serving if buying at full price. The stated 60 minutes is honest for a baked crumble, though the active prep is closer to 15 minutes with 45 minutes hands-off baking, which suits weeknight cooking. This reheats well in a 300-degree oven, making it friendly for leftovers or meal prep. The only minor drawback is that it's a summer-specific dessert tied to peak berry season and availability—outside June through August, you'd be buying frozen berries at higher cost or skipping the dish altogether.
