For the berries:

  • 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (use arrowroot starch for paleo)

For the crumble:
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup oats (use shredded coconut for paleo version)

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. If using frozen berries add berries to baking dish or cast iron pan and add to oven for 5-10 minutes, until berries are no longer frozen but still cold to the touch.

Recipe Notes

For a paleo version of this recipe use arrowroot starch instead of cornstarch, shredded coconut instead of oats, and coconut oil instead of vegan butter. 

If you have no eating restrictions you can use regular butter in place of vegan butter and brown sugar in place of coconut sugar.
