A quick and easy paleo-friendly berry crumble with a crunchy almond flour topping, perfect for summer gatherings and Memorial Day celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), fresh or frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) almond flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss 4 cups (600g) of mixed berries with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups (150g) almond flour, 1/3 cup (65g) coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 cup (20g) shredded coconut if using.
  4. Melt 1/3 cup (75g) coconut oil gently in a saucepan or microwave. Pour into the dry ingredients along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir with a spatula until the mixture clumps together slightly but remains crumbly.
  5. Transfer the berry filling to your baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the almond flour topping evenly over the berries without pressing down.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling. Cover loosely with foil halfway through if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh or thawed berries and drain excess moisture to avoid soggy crumble. Do not overmix the topping to keep it crumbly. Let the crumble cool before serving to thicken the filling. If topping browns too fast, cover with foil halfway through baking. For nut-free version, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour and coconut oil with olive oil.
