Gluten Free Ginger Mango Coconut Crumble
Tropical, warming, and genuinely impressive, this crumble brings together juicy ripe mango, fresh ginger, and a hint of lime in a bubbling filling that smells absolutely incredible as it bakes. The topping is where things get really interesting — cassava flour and unsweetened shredded coconut come together with coconut oil and maple syrup to create a golden, clumpy crumble that crisps up beautifully without a single grain of wheat in sight. Arrowroot starch quietly does the heavy lifting in the filling, thickening those mango juices into a glossy, spoonable sauce that holds together perfectly after a short rest out of the oven. Ceylon cinnamon shows up in both layers, tying the whole dessert together with a gentle warmth that plays off the bright citrus and spicy ginger. This is the kind of recipe that proves you don't need conventional flour to get that satisfying crunch-to-fruit ratio that makes a crumble worth making. Every ingredient is naturally free from gluten, so there's no swapping, substituting, or second-guessing — just straightforward, delicious baking. Serve it warm on its own or with a scoop of coconut ice cream if you really want to lean into the tropical moment.
