Blackberry & Coconut Oat Crust Crumble (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

A super easy, healthy, and delicious Gluten-Free Crumble made with Blackberries, Coconut, and Oats! Gluten-free & vegan.

This delightful dessert (or breakfast!), free of refined sugar, is
inspired by my childhood visits to my grandfather's house.
Blackberries are forever my favorite fruit, as I have fond memories of eating them fresh off the bushes at my Papa's house. While nothing compares to eating them directly from the source, this beautiful little crumble holds a ton of fresh blackberry flavor.

I decided to experiment by adding some coconut yumminess, and boy was I supremely happy with how this came out--it is delicious!

Something about the crispiness of the oat crust & the subtly sweet juiciness of the berries, married with the toastiness of the coconut, transports me to warm, carefree days. I sure hope it does you, too...
