This paleo blueberry crisp is entirely maple-sweetened with a delicious walnut and almond flour based topping! It’s also vegan, gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients

For the topping:

For the blueberry filling:

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or I'm guessing 2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 4 cups (570 grams) fresh blueberries rinsed and patted dry

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and get out an 8"x8" (20cmx20cm) baking dish.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour and cinnamon. Then add the coconut oil, maple syrup and salt and mix until combined.
    3/4 cup (75 grams) finely ground blanched almond flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) coconut flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3 tablespoons (42 grams) refined coconut oil, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Pulse the pecans or walnuts in a food processor a few times until they're in small pieces (about 1/8" in size). You can also chop them by hand but the food processor takes a lot less time. Stir the nuts into the topping mixture.
    1 cup (110 grams) chopped pecans
  • In another medium mixing bowl, stir together the filling ingredients except for the blueberries. When well combined, gently stir in the blueberries and coat in the liquid mixture.
    1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch salt
  • Pour the blueberry mixture in the baking dish.
    4 cups (570 grams) fresh blueberries
  • Distribute the topping evenly over the blueberries.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is firm and the blueberries are bubbling. The topping will crisp up much slower than a traditional crisp, but don't worry as it will crisp up towards the very end of the baking time. Cover the crisp with foil if the topping starts to brown too early.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes and serve. If not serving immediately, once cool, loosely cover with a piece of plastic wrap (so the topping doesn't go soft). If storing overnight, properly cover the crisp with plastic wrap. Do note that the topping gets soft on the second day. Serve with vanilla sauce or ice cream.
