Celery Free Blueberry Crisp with Almond Oat Topping
Juicy blueberries bubbling beneath a golden, crumbly topping is one of those desserts that feels both rustic and a little bit special. The filling comes together with just a handful of pantry staples — maple syrup, arrowroot starch, a squeeze of lemon, and a whisper of cinnamon — so the berries stay front and center. The topping layers rolled oats, almond flour, and roughly chopped walnuts with coconut oil and warm spices, giving you that satisfying crunch without a single ingredient that raises flags for anyone avoiding celery or celery-derived additives. It's worth noting that packaged dessert mixes and store-bought crisps can hide surprising extras, so making this from scratch puts you fully in control of what goes into the dish. Everything bakes together at 350°F until the edges are bubbling and the topping taps firm and golden — the hardest part is waiting the ten minutes before you dig in. Serve it warm on its own or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for a dessert that genuinely earns its place at the table.
