Peanut Free Blueberry Lemon Crumble
Bright, jammy blueberries bubbling beneath a golden, coconut-kissed crumble topping — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell absolutely incredible. The filling gets its glossy, luscious texture from arrowroot starch rather than cornstarch, and a hit of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and a whisper of ground ginger keeps every bite lively and bright. The crumble itself is built on cassava flour, tapioca starch, and shredded coconut, all worked together with solid coconut oil until you get those irresistible clumpy, craggy bits that bake up perfectly crisp. Because the entire recipe is built from whole, straightforward ingredients, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden peanut derivatives or worry about cross-contact from shared processing facilities. Ceylon cinnamon adds a delicate warmth that plays beautifully against the tart blueberry filling without overpowering it. Letting it rest for ten minutes after it comes out of the oven is genuinely worth the wait — the filling thickens into something almost spoonable and deeply satisfying. Serve it as-is or alongside your favorite dairy-free scoop for a dessert that feels indulgent but comes together with surprisingly little fuss.
