What’s In This Homemade Blackberry Crisp?

We’re rocking fresh and juicy blackberries, greek yogurt (yep, stay with me on this), oats, coconut flour, vanilla (related: try homemade) cinnamon, eggs, honey, brown sugar (related: How to Make Brown Sugar), and butter.

If you can’t/don’t eat eggs or yogurt, you can use the instructions from this Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp instead and just sub in blackberries.

If you have any leftover fruit, try your hand at making Blackberry Freezer Jam.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes:

  • If you eat gluten, then feel free to use all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour. But, if you need to keep this gluten-free, you could also use almond flour or your favorite gluten-free baking blend.
  • Try using homemade Cold Start Instant Pot Yogurt for a delicious DIY take on this.
  • Use the butter wrapper to grease the pan.
  • You can use frozen blackberries if you’d like. Allow them to thaw and drain the excess juices before incorporating into the custard mixture.
  • Feel free to add additional fruit or a mix of different kinds. I like adding sliced peaches (related: Peach Compote and How to Freeze Peaches), raspberries (related: How to Freeze Raspberries), nectarines, and/or blueberries (related: Freezing Blueberries).

  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and cornstarch together; mixing REALLY well.
  • Add the vanilla, yogurt, and honey; stir well.
  • Gently fold in the blackberries.
  • Pour the fruit custard into the greased pan, and top with the oat topping.

  1. The topping is delicious and I will use this combination for all the other crisps I make. The blackberry mixture needs more or the crisp mixture should be cut in half. The end result was a thin layer of blackberry and a super large layer of crisp.3 stars

  2. Ok, I’ve never seen a crisp like this before! I love blackberry crisp and pie and everything, but all I ever do is blackberries, cornstarch, and sugar, then the topping. Eggs? Yoghurt? This is new to me. I’m going to have to try it out!5 stars

  3. This looks amazing! Blackberries are my absolute favorite, and I love crisps. I’ve never seen a custard filling in a crisp before. That’s genius!

    My father-in-law (from Arizona) was visiting us in June and was helping with some yard work. He saw my wall of blackberry bushes (which I adore even if they are unsightly) and asked me if I wanted him to cut them down. I think he was a little surprised when I freaked and said no way! lol I guess he hasn’t had any fresh from the vine, sun-warmed blackberries before…5 stars

    • Isn’t it so funny how non-Washingtonians react to the wild blackberries? Our friends from Colorado just moved here and she was shocked about our free fruit options but said the thorns were too sharp. I told her we needed to develop her berry picking hands.
