Ingredients
For the Berry Filling:
-
3 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen — blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
-
2–3 tbsp granular erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
-
1 tsp lemon zest
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp xanthan gum (optional, thickens filling)
For the Almond Flour Crust:
-
1½ cups almond flour
-
¼ cup granular or powdered erythritol
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
-
1 large egg
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
2. Make the Berry Filling
-
In a medium bowl, combine berries, sweetener, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and xanthan gum.
-
Toss gently until evenly coated.
-
Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Almond Flour Crust
-
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
-
Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
4. Assemble & Bake
-
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berries (it doesn’t have to cover completely — rustic is perfect).
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
5. Serve
-
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving (it thickens as it rests).
