I just can’t get enough of berry season. When the spring rolls around I count down the months until berries are in season.
This gluten free berry crisp recipe was made for berry season because it features any berry you have on hand. You can use blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or raspberries. I’ve also got this berry trifle on my list of things to make, because the rich pound cake and fresh cream look like heaven.
Looking for another summer crisp? This rhubarb crisp features the perfect combination of tangy rhubarb mixture with a generous, thick crisp topping.
Ingredients for gluten free berry crisp:
- You’ve got to have gluten free oats for this berry crisp recipe with oatmeal! I like Bob’s Red Mill gluten free rolled oats, but you can use any kind! Thrive Market has a great one too.
- Sweeteners like maple syrup and coconut sugar help add some sweetness along with the natural sugars in the berries.
- The berries are the star of the show. Grab whatever is in season or on hand!
- Spices like cinnamon, salt and flavors like vanilla add more depth to the recipe.
- Don’t forget the nuts in the topping! They add a great crunch and nutty flavor.
- Last but not least we have to use coconut oil as the fat. It’s cut into the topping to create the crumble that crisps are known for.
How to make this gluten free berry dessert:
- Mix the berries, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt lemon juice and tapioca flour in a large bowl then pour it into a greased baking dish.
- Next, in a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, old fashioned gluten free oats, coconut sugar, nuts, cinnamon and salt. Add the coconut oil and cut it into the dry ingredients with the back of a knife or a pastry blender.
- Finally, spoon the crisp topping evenly over the berry mixture and bake in the pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes.
