This cranberry blueberry crisp is a seasonal delicious dessert.

I love fresh cranberries this time of year and they are perfect for crisps (not just for cranberry sauce!)

This cranberry blueberry crisp is my new fave November dessert.

It’s full of juicy flavor and the prep work is a breeze (ready to bake in less than 15 minutes!)

how to make cranberry blueberry crisp

Step 1: mix together the filling ingredients in a bowl: fresh cranberries, frozen blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon. Stir several times over the course of 5-10 minutes, or until sugar and cornstarch stick to the fruit.

Step 2: Add all ingredients for crisp topping to a bowl: brown sugar, pecan crumbs, oat flour, rolled oats, salt, coconut oil, and vegan butter. Use a spoon to combine. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

Step 3: Use a dish of choice and pour in the filling (I used a 9″ pie pan). Add the crisp topping evenly over the filling.

Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until bubbly and crisp is browned. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

My husband is a huge fan of my apple crisp recipe but one bite of this and he couldn’t stop saying how much he loved it.

Fresh cranberries add so much flavor to this crisp and every bite is sweet with bursts of juicy cranberries.

Does that not look dreamy?

I had two bowls yesterday and already craving more!

I also made this for a family Thanksgiving event and everyone was raving about it.

No crisp is complete without a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on the side.

Can this be made a day ahead, or will the topping/crisp get soft?

I would not make it in advance, it is best fresh!

Soooo good. I was looking for a recipe to use up extra cranberries and blueberries when I came upon your recipe. So glad I tried it. I was given a big bag of shelled walnuts and used them in place of the pecans. Worked out great. Also used all purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of melted butter in place of coconut oil. This deserves 5 stars.

1. Can I use both frozen cranberries and frozen blueberries?

2. Can I use regular flour if gluten is not an issue?

Would i be able to omit or possibly swap the pecans for something else? More oats perhaps? Thanks in advance!

You could sub out the crisp topping for the one in this recipe! It uses all oats and oat flour. Hope that helps! https://buildyourbite.com/vegan-blueberry-peach-crisp/
