Black Pepper Free Paleo Mixed Berry Almond Crumble

Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, nutty crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes a kitchen smell absolutely incredible. Five cups of mixed berries get tossed with maple syrup, a squeeze of lemon, and a touch of cinnamon before going into the oven, so every bite is bright, jammy, and just sweet enough. The crumble itself is built on almond flour and sliced almonds bound together with coconut oil and maple syrup, giving you that satisfying crunch without any grain or refined sugar. For anyone avoiding black pepper, this recipe is a genuinely easy win — the spice drawer only calls for cinnamon and sea salt, so there's zero risk of accidentally reaching for the wrong jar. Tapioca starch thickens the filling as it bakes, so by the time the topping turns deep golden brown and the edges are bubbling, you've got a dessert that holds together beautifully when scooped. Let it rest for ten minutes before serving and the filling sets up perfectly — rich, glossy, and ready to eat straight from the dish.
