For other fruity dessert recipes, make this plum cobbler or apple crisp! Sweet summer blackberries + dark chocolate flavor + the best crumble that just so happens to be both grain-free and refined sugar-free = the most delicious blackberry chocolate crumble dessert! The rich melted chocolate, warm from its bake in the oven, melds into the chewy crumble topping, and the blackberries add fresh bursts of sweetness! I love it when something so decadent is also healthy for you: if you accidentally eat the entire crumble to yourself you can pat yourself on the back for eating tons of fruit and healthy almonds and pecans.
Let’s chat about this healthy crumble topping: I know crumble topping is supposed to have oats in it, but this one doesn’t, and I’ll be making no apologies for it! While I really like oats in crumble toppings, I wanted to find a paleo-friendly version that tastes just as good, if not better! I love taking it out of the oven and seeing the golden brown, delicious chocolate crumb topping. It took a bit of experimenting to discover a similar texture. This is what I learned about the ingredients:
Flaked coconut: This works best for the texture. Remember, we’re trying to mimic oats. Coconut sugar: It’s similar to brown sugar, but helps with the crispiness! Pecans: Chop them coarsely and they’ll give just the right amount of crunch. Almond flour: This works great in place of regular flour in this recipe!
You can even use this crumble topping in your own recipe. I’ve used it on lots of different fruit crumbles and it’s always delicious!
