Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Blueberries: 4 cups fresh or frozen (no added sugar)
  • Lemon: Zest of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Granulated keto sweetener: 1/2 cup, divided (erythritol, allulose, or a blend)
  • Chia seeds or ground flaxseed: 1 tablespoon (for thickening)
  • Almond flour: 1 1/2 cups (super-fine works best)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts: 1/2 cup
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional): 1/4 cup
  • Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg (optional): 1/4 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Butter: 6 tablespoons, cold and cut into small cubes (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Coconut flour (optional): 1 tablespoon, if your berries are extra juicy
  • Cooking spray or butter: For greasing the baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar casserole dish.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/4 cup keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. If using very juicy berries, sprinkle in coconut flour to help thicken. Gently fold to coat.
  3. Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, stir together almond flour, remaining 1/4 cup sweetener, chopped nuts, shredded coconut (if using), cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry topping mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture forms coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
  5. Assemble: Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the berries.
  6. Bake: Place on the center rack and bake for 30–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the blueberry juices are bubbling around the edges.
  7. Rest: Let the crumble cool for at least 10–15 minutes before serving. This helps the juices set and makes scooping easier.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm, plain or with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
