A quick and easy gluten-free breakfast bake featuring a juicy mixed berry filling topped with a buttery, cinnamon-spiced crumble. Perfect for busy mornings or cozy weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries; fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for frozen berries)
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or almond flour for nuttier flavor)
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. If using frozen berries, add chia seeds or ground flaxseed. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add softened butter to the dry ingredients and use fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. Stir in chopped nuts if using.
  5. Spread the berry mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the berries without pressing down.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until edges bubble and topping is golden brown. Check at 35 minutes to avoid burning.
  7. Let the bake cool for 10 minutes to thicken the filling.
  8. Serve warm, optionally with Greek yogurt, almond milk, or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If topping browns too quickly before filling bubbles, tent loosely with foil and continue baking. Use frozen berries with chia or flaxseed to thicken juices and prevent sogginess. Softened butter is key for crumbly texture. Can be made vegan by swapping butter for coconut oil and honey for maple syrup. Optional nuts add crunch and nutrition.
