Strawberry Rasberry Crisp

Hello my friends - I'm still here! Life has been busy! I am hoping to catch on my blogging now that I cut my work hours this summer.
I was craving a yummy dessert the other day and decided to try this. Very tasty -Ron practically finished the whole thing. Of course, we topped it off with a little bit of vanilla ice cream! I found this recipe just randomly on a blog called fishfoodblog.



5 cups of strawberries cut into quarters
1 cup of raspberries
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
3/4 cups of sugar
2 teaspoons of cornstarch
pinch of salt

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together flour, oats, and baking powder, pinch of salt, then set it aside. Mix room temperature butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until fully combined. Then add the oats and flour mix. Mix with your fingers until its well combined.

2. Mix together the strawberries, raspberries, and 1/2 cup sugar, and cornstarch into a bowl. Then transfer into a square 8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the fruit, and bake until the top turns golden brown, about an hour. Let cool then eat!!!!
