Gut Friendly Mixed Berry Crumble with Coconut & Cassava Topping

Warm, bubbling fruit filling beneath a golden, crumbly topping — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes a kitchen smell absolutely incredible. The berry filling comes together with arrowroot starch and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon, which helps thicken everything naturally without relying on refined starches or additives that can be rough on a sensitive digestive system. The topping swaps conventional flour for cassava and tapioca starch, both of which are gentler grain-free options, while shredded coconut and solid coconut oil give it that irresistible crunch. Ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that's more than just flavor — it's a classic ingredient with a long history of supporting digestive comfort. Maple syrup sweetens both layers without any refined sugar, keeping the whole dish clean and straightforward. Letting it rest for ten minutes after baking is a small but important step that allows the filling to thicken up beautifully before you dig in. Whether you're serving it as a weeknight treat or a crowd-pleasing dessert, this crumble proves that eating with your gut in mind never has to mean sacrificing something truly satisfying.
