Gelatin Free Paleo Mixed Berry Crumble

Warm, bubbling fruit beneath a golden, nutty crust — this mixed berry crumble is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The filling leans on arrowroot starch rather than any animal-derived thickener, so it sets up beautifully without a single ingredient that could raise concerns for those avoiding gelatin. Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries get tossed with maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon juice before going into the oven, creating a jammy, vibrant base that's naturally sweet and just a little tart. The topping is where things get really good — almond flour and roughly chopped pecans come together with coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt into a crumbly, caramelized crust that shatters just right with every spoonful. Because almond flour browns faster than traditional oat or wheat toppings, keeping an eye on it during those last few minutes is the one small trick that separates a perfect golden crumble from an over-baked one. Let it rest for ten minutes after pulling it from the oven and the filling thickens into something scoopable and lush rather than soupy. It's the kind of fuss-free, crowd-pleasing dessert you'll want to make on repeat all berry season long.
