MSG Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Coconut & Cassava Topping

Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, coconut-scented crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes a kitchen smell absolutely incredible. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward: fresh or frozen berries, maple syrup, coconut oil, and a topping built from cassava flour and tapioca starch instead of anything processed or additive-laden. That matters more than it might seem, because packaged dessert mixes and flavored baking products are surprisingly common sources of hidden additives, and this recipe sidesteps all of that entirely. The crumble topping comes together by working solid coconut oil into the dry ingredients until you get those satisfying, irregular clumps — no shortcuts, no mystery powders, just real texture and real flavor. Ceylon cinnamon and a touch of ground ginger give the topping a gentle warmth that plays beautifully against the tart, jammy berry filling underneath. After about 35 to 40 minutes in the oven, the edges bubble and the topping turns a deep, toasty gold that is genuinely hard to resist. Let it rest just long enough for the filling to thicken, then serve it as-is or with whatever clean accompaniment you love.
