Pistachio Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Coconut & Cassava Topping
Warm, bubbling berry filling topped with a golden, fragrant crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell absolutely incredible. The topping comes together with cassava flour, tapioca starch, and unsweetened shredded coconut, giving it a satisfying crunch and a subtle tropical note that pairs beautifully with the tart mixed berries underneath. Coconut oil works into the dry ingredients to create those irresistible clumpy, pea-sized crumbs that crisp up perfectly in the oven. Maple syrup sweetens both the filling and the topping naturally, while arrowroot starch and a splash of lemon juice help the berries set into a glossy, jammy base that holds its shape once it rests. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is a genuine win — the entire ingredient list is built around nut-free pantry staples with no need for substitutions or label-checking anxiety. Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger add a gentle warmth that makes every bite feel a little more special. Serve it straight from the baking dish while it's still slightly warm and watch it disappear fast.
