Paleo Mixed Berry Crumble with Coconut & Cassava Topping

Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, crumbly crust — this dessert delivers everything a classic crumble promises, built entirely from grain-free, whole-food ingredients. The filling leans on arrowroot starch to thicken those jammy mixed berries without any refined additives, while a touch of maple syrup and Ceylon cinnamon keep things naturally sweet and warmly spiced. The topping is where things get really interesting: cassava flour and tapioca starch team up with shredded coconut and solid coconut oil to create those satisfying, irregular clumps that bake up crisp at the edges and tender in the middle. It's the kind of texture that's genuinely hard to achieve with grain-free baking, and this one nails it. Getting a dessert like this to work without oats, butter, or refined flour can feel like a tall order, but the combination of these pantry staples makes it surprisingly straightforward. Let it rest those full ten minutes after baking — the filling tightens up beautifully and makes every scoop clean and cohesive. Whether you're serving it after a weeknight dinner or bringing it to a gathering, this is the kind of dish that nobody will guess is anything other than indulgent.
