This Blackberry Coconut Crisp begins with tart blackberries that have been sprinkled with sugar and then layered inside a coconut and oat crust.

The crisp is baked until the berries are soft and warm while the crust wrapped around them is both chewy and crunchy.

The unique flavors work wonderfully together and I found myself repeatedly going back to the cooling crisp for just one more taste the first time I made this dessert.

I love this dessert so much, I wound up making it three times in the past couple weeks. I called it “recipe testing,” but it was no hardship and it really was perfect the first time.

Make the most of berry season with this quick and easy fruit-filled crisp. I simply can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ll be making this simple dessert for as long as the berries last this year.

Kitchen Tip: I use this pan to make this recipe.

Blackberry Coconut Crisp

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a loaf pan (approximately 8×4 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. Place the blackberries in a large bowl and sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Stir to thoroughly coat and then let them sit on the counter for a few minutes while assembling the crust and topping.
  3. Stir together the oats, coconut, flour, brown sugar, and butter. Spread half of the mixture over the parchment lined pan.
  4. Pour the berries over the crust and then sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture on top of the berries.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, until the crust has browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

    I made this last night and went by the recipe exactly. It turned out fabulous. I love that it makes a small crisp since it’s just me and my husband and we don’t need a 9×13 sweet thing around here. We would just eat it all and we don’t need that. I do have a question though. Fresh blackberries are my favorite thing but they are hard to sometimes find. Could I use frozen berries for this? And, how about frozen blueberries instead of blackberries? This is a wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing.5 stars

    Hi Mary. This was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. A definite keeper! Thank you.

    I made one change because I used frozen blackberries I had on hand from Costco. I was worried it would be too wet and ruin the recipe..

    So I thawed them in a strainer under water and patted them somewhat dry with paper towels. Then I mixed the berries in the bowl per directions, and I strained the mixture again before combining with the oats (because it was very wet). I put the leftover liquid in a pot over a low flame for like eight minutes or so and it made a delicious sweet syrup I then poured over the dessert and ice-cream. 😋😁5 stars
