Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 1 large pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Pineapple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the pineapple is evenly coated and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted coconut oil and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Assemble the Crisp: Evenly spread the oat crumble topping over the pineapple filling in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pineapple filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set before serving warm.
