Fish Free Paleo Mixed Berry Almond Crumble
Bubbling fruit, a golden nutty crust, and the kind of warm cinnamon aroma that makes everyone wander into the kitchen ā this berry crumble delivers all of that without a single grain or refined sugar in sight. The filling leans on five cups of mixed berries tossed with maple syrup, a touch of tapioca starch for body, and a squeeze of lemon that brightens every bite. Coconut oil and almond flour come together in the topping to create a crumble that bakes up genuinely crisp and deeply golden, not soggy or pale. Because every ingredient here is naturally free from seafood and fish derivatives ā no hidden sauces, no sneaky thickeners ā you can serve this confidently to anyone navigating those restrictions. Tapioca starch does the quiet work of thickening the jammy filling as it cools, so you get clean, scoopable spoonfuls rather than a watery mess. 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 from the dish and let the topping do the talking.
