- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine frozen berries, cornstarch, lime juice, and 3 tbsp sugar. Stir until the berries are evenly coated.
- Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring all the sugar and cornstarch mixture is included.
- In a separate bowl, mix quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oats, ¼ cup + 2 tbsp sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
- Add cold butter pieces to the oat mixture and cut the butter in using your hands or a pastry blender until crumbly and well incorporated.
- Evenly sprinkle the oat mixture over the berries in the baking dish.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
- If the topping browns too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil and continue baking.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Fresh lime juice is recommended for brightness. Use both quick-cooking and old-fashioned oats for the best texture, and cold butter chunks for a crispier topping. For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats. Substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
