BHA & BHT Free Paleo Mixed Berry Crumble

Bubbling fruit, a golden nutty crust, and the kind of warm, spiced aroma that makes everyone wander into the kitchen — this mixed berry crumble delivers all of that without a single synthetic preservative in sight. BHA and BHT are common in packaged baked goods and processed fats, so making a dessert like this from scratch is genuinely the cleanest route. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable: fresh or frozen berries, almond flour, raw pecans, coconut oil, and maple syrup do all the heavy lifting. The arrowroot starch thickens the berry filling into a glossy, jammy layer that bubbles up beautifully around the edges, while the cinnamon-spiked crumble on top turns deep golden and slightly crisp. Almond flour browns faster than wheat-based toppings, so keeping an eye on it in those final minutes pays off with a perfectly toasted finish rather than a burnt one. A ten-minute rest after baking lets the filling set just enough so every scoop holds together instead of running across the plate. Serve it warm and watch it disappear.
