1 bag (12 ounces) frozen mixed berries
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt

Vanilla ice cream, or frozen yogurt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread frozen berries in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; thaw 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Make oatmeal topping: In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup flour, light-brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, allspice, and a pinch of salt. Stir in oats. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingers, incorporate butter into flour mixture until large, moist clumps form. Refrigerate.
