Ingredients You’ll Need
To make an almond flour crisp, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients for the topping.
Blanched almond flour Coconut oil Maple syrup or honey Walnuts or pecans Sea salt
I also add shredded coconut to this crumble topping, but that’s optional. Feel free to use more almond flour, instead.
How to Make It
To get started, toss the blueberries in cinnamon and arrowroot starch in the bottom of a large baking dish. If you want a sweeter filling, you can add up to 1/2 cup of coconut sugar here, similar to my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp recipe, but I like leaving this blueberry version less-sweet.
Note: If you’re following a diet, like the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, that doesn’t allow for arrowroot starch, you can leave it out. The filling will be slightly more soupy without it, but it’s still delicious. Set the blueberries aside, and mix together the crisp topping.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the blueberries, and lightly press the top with your hands so it’s relatively flat. Any pieces sticking up higher than the rest will be more prone to burn before the rest of the topping is golden.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping looks golden. It might look soupy when you first pull it out of the oven, but let this blueberry crisp cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. It will firm up as it cools, and the topping becomes quite crispy! Serve with your favorite ice cream, or coconut whipped cream on top.
Substitution Ideas

Almond flour. Blanched almond flour will give you the crispiest texture compared to almond meal (which has brown flecks from the ground almond skins), but you can use almond meal in a pinch. Do not substitute coconut flour here! Shredded coconut. If you don’t want to use coconut, you can substitute additional blanched almond flour in its place. Walnuts. The chopped nuts are for added texture and crunch, but you can leave them out, or swap them for another nut you enjoy, like pecans or almonds.
