This juicy, warm crisp features tangy berries, chewy rolled oats, crunchy pecans, almond meal, and is sweetened only with honey. It's delicious on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Smarts #1: Use fresh berries if they're still readily available, although the crisp is just as tasty with frozen berries that have been thawed and drained. Smarts #2: For a gluten-free crisp, substitute 1:1 gluten-free flour; for a vegan crisp, substitute pure maple syrup for the honey.

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a glass pie dish or 8x8 baking pan with some coconut oil or cooking spray.
Combine the oats, pecans, almond meal, salt, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon in a large bowl; stir to combine. Add the melted coconut oil and 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan crisp). Stir until fully incorporated; set aside.
Transfer berries to a medium-size bowl. Add the flour, remaining 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and remaining 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup; gently toss to combine.
Arrange berries in prepared baking dish. Top with oat mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is crisp and golden brown. Allow the crisp to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
