Paraben Free Raspberry Peach Crumble
Juicy summer fruit bubbling beneath a golden, coconut-kissed topping — this crumble is the kind of dessert that makes everyone hover near the oven. The filling leans on fresh or frozen peaches and raspberries, sweetened with maple syrup and brightened with a squeeze of lemon juice, so every bite is naturally vibrant and fruity. Arrowroot starch thickens the filling as it bakes, giving you that gorgeous, jammy texture without any synthetic additives that can sneak into conventional thickeners. The crumble itself is built from cassava flour, tapioca starch, and unsweetened shredded coconut, all brought together with coconut oil and maple syrup — no preservatives, no artificial stabilizers, just wholesome pantry staples. Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger round out the topping with warm, aromatic depth that pairs beautifully with the tart raspberries. Avoiding parabens in food often means scrutinizing processed ingredients for hidden preservatives, and this recipe sidesteps that entirely by keeping every component clean and recognizable. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will set into something truly irresistible — best served warm, ideally with a generous scoop of your favorite coconut cream.
