Hazelnut Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Oat Topping
Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, crunchy oat crust ā this berry crumble is the kind of dessert that disappears fast. The topping leans on almond flour and sliced almonds for richness and texture, with rolled oats and coconut oil binding everything into satisfying, rustic clusters. Arrowroot starch thickens the berry filling beautifully as it bakes, so you get that jammy, glossy consistency without it turning watery or soupy. A touch of maple syrup, cinnamon, and ginger ties the whole thing together with warm, cozy depth. Many store-bought crumbles and granola-style toppings sneak in hazelnut flour or mixed nut blends, but this one keeps things clean ā almonds only, with every ingredient clearly accounted for. It works equally well with fresh or frozen berries, which makes it an easy go-to any time of year. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling sets into something truly irresistible.
