Gluten Free Blueberry Coconut Crumble

Few desserts hit quite like a bubbling fruit crumble fresh from the oven, and this blueberry version delivers all of that cozy, jammy satisfaction without a trace of wheat in sight. The filling leans on arrowroot starch to thicken those juicy blueberries into something glossy and spoonable, while lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, ground ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon give it a brightness that keeps every bite interesting. The topping is where things get really clever — cassava flour and tapioca starch stand in for conventional flour so seamlessly that you'd never know anything was missing, and the shredded coconut adds a toasty, slightly chewy texture that makes the crumble feel genuinely special. Solid coconut oil is worked in by hand until the mixture forms those perfect pea-sized clumps that bake up golden and crisp at the edges. Maple syrup sweetens both layers naturally, so the whole dish has a clean, wholesome flavor that doesn't taste like a compromise. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will thicken into something truly spoonable — ideal alongside a scoop of coconut ice cream or just eaten straight from the dish.
