Xanthan Gum Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Oat Topping

Bubbling fruit, golden clusters of oats and almonds, the warm scent of cinnamon and ginger filling your kitchen — this berry crumble is the kind of dessert that feels like a hug. The filling comes together with fresh or frozen mixed berries, a touch of maple syrup, and arrowroot starch, which thickens everything beautifully as it bakes without any gums or additives. That matters more than it sounds, because a lot of packaged crumble mixes and store-bought fruit desserts sneak in thickeners that don't work for everyone. Here, the ingredient list is completely straightforward — just real food doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The topping is a satisfying mix of rolled oats, almond flour, and sliced almonds bound together with coconut oil and maple syrup, so it bakes up into irresistible golden clusters with a little crunch and a little chew. Letting it rest for ten minutes after it comes out of the oven gives the filling time to set into that perfect jammy consistency. Serve it warm on its own or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream — either way, it disappears fast.
