Chestnut Free Orange-Pistachio Berry Oat Crisp

Warm, bubbling berry filling crowned with a golden, nutty oat topping — this crisp is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The combination of bright citrus zest, sweet maple syrup, and a hint of ginger and cinnamon gives every bite a layered, almost sophisticated flavor that feels way fancier than the effort involved. Pistachios bring a satisfying crunch and a buttery richness to the topping, while almond flour helps it bake up beautifully crisp without any wheat. Arrowroot starch thickens the berry filling naturally as it cools, so you get that perfect jammy texture rather than a watery pool under the topping. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns around chestnuts specifically, this recipe leans on pistachios and almonds — neither of which is a chestnut — so you can enjoy a genuinely indulgent, nut-topped crisp without that particular worry. It works equally well with fresh summer berries or a bag pulled straight from the freezer, making it a reliable go-to any time of year. Serve it warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or a dollop of coconut cream and watch it disappear fast.
