Ingredients

  • Mixed berries (frozen or fresh, about 4 cups / 600g) – a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
  • Maple syrup (¼ cup / 60 ml) – for berry filling
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Gluten-free all-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Gluten-free rolled oats (1 ½ cups / 135g)
  • Almond flour (½ cup / 50g)
  • Coconut oil (⅓ cup / 75 ml), melted
  • Maple syrup (⅓ cup / 80 ml) – for oat topping
  • Ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, maple syrup, lemon juice, gluten-free flour, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add melted coconut oil and maple syrup while stirring until crumbly but slightly holding together.
  4. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berries without pressing down hard.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling bubbles around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm, optionally with dairy-free ice cream or coconut yogurt.

Notes

If topping is soggy the next day, toast under broiler for 2-3 minutes to restore crunch. Avoid overmixing oat topping to keep it crumbly. Use gluten-free flour to prevent soggy filling. Frozen berries can be used without thawing. Adjust cooking time if using different sized baking dishes. For nut allergies, substitute almond flour with oat flour or extra oats.
