Ingredients
For the Berry Filling
- 2 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen

For the Crisp Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats

Instructions

- Prepare Berry Mixture: In a medium bowl, gently mix the berries with a little sugar if you prefer a sweeter filling. This enhances the natural sweetness and helps create a syrupy base as it bakes.
