A culinary preparation traditionally consisting of a sweet fruit base topped with a crumbly mixture, reimagined to exclude gluten-containing ingredients. The fruit component commonly involves berries, while the topping uses gluten-free flours and oats, combined with butter and sugar to create a textural contrast to the softened fruit beneath. For example, a dessert featuring blueberries and a mixture of almond flour, rolled oats, and coconut sugar as the topping adheres to this description.
This adaptation offers those with dietary restrictions or preferences an opportunity to enjoy a classic dessert. It expands accessibility, enabling individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities to partake in familiar comfort food. Historically, crisps represent an economical way to utilize seasonal fruit; the gluten-free version preserves this value while addressing contemporary dietary needs.
