Gluten Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Oat Topping

Bubbling fruit filling, golden clusters of toasted oats and almonds, the warm scent of cinnamon drifting through the kitchen — this crumble is the kind of dessert that makes everyone crowd around the oven. The topping comes together with rolled oats, almond flour, and sliced almonds, so it delivers that satisfying crunch without a single grain of wheat in sight. Arrowroot starch thickens the berry filling beautifully as it bakes, giving you that jammy, glossy texture that's usually the hardest part to nail in a fruit dessert. Maple syrup and coconut oil bind the topping into rustic clusters that crisp up in the oven rather than turning dense or gummy — a common pitfall with alternative baking. You can use fresh or frozen berries here, which makes this genuinely easy to pull off any time of year. Letting it rest for ten minutes after baking is the one step worth not skipping, since the filling tightens up into something scoopable and rich rather than soupy. Serve it warm on its own or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for a dessert that nobody at the table will think twice about.
