Artificial Flavors Free Paleo Mixed Berry Almond Crumble
Bubbling fruit, a golden almond crust, and the warm scent of cinnamon coming out of the oven — this is the kind of dessert that makes people hover near the kitchen. The filling leans on fresh or frozen mixed berries, a touch of maple syrup, lemon juice, and just enough tapioca starch to pull everything into a glossy, jammy sauce as it bakes. The crumble on top is built from almond flour, raw sliced almonds, coconut oil, and more maple syrup, so every bite has real crunch and genuine sweetness without a drop of anything synthetic. For anyone navigating store-bought desserts loaded with artificial flavors and hard-to-pronounce additives, this is a genuinely satisfying alternative where every single ingredient is exactly what it says it is. The whole thing comes together in one baking dish, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying a warm scoop straight from the pan. Let it rest for ten minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling thickens into something truly special.
