This is by far one of my favorite creations! Marrying plump, juicy blackberries with the amazing flavors of lemon and poppy seeds has to be one of my best culinary decisions . . .

If you haven’t caught on by now, my family is major fan of crisps, crumbles and cobblers. I am always experimenting when we have fruit on hand, and every once in a while there is one creation that really wows them over. This is one such creation. The lemon poppy seed topping was inspired by a granola I frequently make (recipe here) that my toddler just cannot get enough of. This crumble has everything: a bit of sweet, a bit of tart, a bit of crunch, and a whole lot of rich, moist deliciousness.

If you are a fan of lemon poppy seed muffins and also adore blackberries as much as I do, then this amazing crumble is sure to knock your socks off with its out of this world flavors!

This Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Blackberry Crumble is:

• Moist, juicy, rich and delicious.

• Subtly sweet, subtly tart.

• Perfectly crisp AND creamy.

• Filled with healthy, wholesome ingredients.

• Super easy to make.

• Gluten-free & refined sugar-free with dairy-free, vegan, sugar-free and nut-free options.

Tips for making Gluten-Free Blackberry Crisp with Poppy Seeds:

• Fresh berries result in a juicier crumble, but frozen can be used in a pinch.

• For a vegan option, honey can be replaced with maple syrup and butter can be replaced with coconut oil.

• For a dairy-free option, butter can be replaced with coconut oil.

• For a nut-free version, almond flour can be replaced with oat flour. To make oat flour, simply blend rolled oats in a blender or food processor until a fine powder forms.

• Tapioca flour enhances the texture of the berry filling, but it can be omitted or replaced with arrowroot starch if need be.

• I really love the touch of ginger in combination with the lemon flavors, but in a pinch it can be replaced with cinnamon or omitted altogether.

• Any granulated sugar can be used to replace the coconut sugar if need be.

• For a sugar-free version, I recommend this sweetener to replace the honey, and this sweetener to replace the coconut sugar.

• This gluten-free crumble tastes best when served right away, but will last covered at room temperature for 24 hours or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
