Few desserts hit the way a bubbling fruit crumble does, and this mixed berry version delivers all that warmth and comfort without a single questionable additive. Carrageenan, a thickener commonly snuck into dairy products and some processed foods, has no place here ā the filling gets its luscious, jammy consistency from arrowroot starch instead, which binds beautifully as the berries bubble away in the oven. Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries are tossed with maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon juice, creating a filling that's bright, naturally sweet, and deeply fruity. The crumble topping is built on almond flour and roughly chopped pecans, brought together with coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt ā it bakes into something gloriously golden and nutty with just the right amount of crunch. Every ingredient is whole and recognizable, which means you can skip the label-reading anxiety that comes with store-bought desserts or pre-made crumble mixes. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven so the filling thickens up, and then dig in while it's still warm.
