Yeast Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Oat Topping
Bubbling fruit, a golden crunch on top, and the warm scent of cinnamon filling your kitchen ā this berry crumble is the kind of dessert that feels both effortless and impressive. The filling leans on a colorful mix of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries, brightened with lemon juice and gently spiced with cinnamon and ginger, while arrowroot starch helps it set into a glossy, jammy base as it cools. The topping is where things get really good: rolled oats, almond flour, and sliced almonds come together with maple syrup and melted coconut oil into loose, craggy clusters that bake up irresistibly crisp and nutty. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from yeast, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out ā it just works as written. Desserts that rely on fermentation or leavening agents can be tricky to navigate, but a crumble is one of those beautiful exceptions where the format is already on your side. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will thicken into something truly spoonable. Serve it straight from the dish and don't be surprised when people ask for seconds.
