Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oats
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil.
- In a medium bowl, gently mix blackberries with lemon juice and honey, ensuring berries are evenly coated without breaking them apart.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free oats, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, poppy seeds, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the crumble mixture is well-combined and slightly crumbly.
- Spread the prepared blackberry mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blackberries, covering the entire surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream.
Tips
- • For the most tender crumble, ensure your coconut oil is fully melted but not hot when mixing with dry ingredients. • Don't overmix the blackberry mixture - gentle folding preserves the berries' delicate texture. • Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the most intense flavor profile. • Let the crumble cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth. • For extra decadence, serve with a dollop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream. • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crumble's crisp texture.
