BHA & BHT Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Oat Topping

Bubbling fruit filling, a golden crunch on top, and the warm scent of cinnamon and ginger filling your kitchen — this berry crumble is the kind of dessert that feels effortless but tastes deeply considered. The filling leans on fresh or frozen mixed berries tossed with maple syrup, a touch of lemon juice, and arrowroot starch to create that jammy, glossy texture without any synthetic thickeners or preservatives. That matters more than it sounds, because many packaged crumble mixes and store-bought desserts quietly rely on BHA or BHT to extend shelf life — here, every single ingredient is clean and straightforward. The topping is built from rolled oats, almond flour, raw sliced almonds, coconut oil, and maple syrup, which come together into satisfying clusters that bake up crisp and nutty. Coconut oil does the heavy lifting that butter or shortening would in a conventional recipe, and it plays beautifully with the almond flour for a topping that holds its crunch even as the filling softens underneath. A short rest after baking lets everything settle into that perfect spoonable consistency. Serve it warm on its own or alongside your favorite dairy-free scoop — it disappears fast either way.
