One of the hardest things about adjusting to a low carb lifestyle is learning how to bake with alternative sweeteners and flours.  I have started using almond flour more in my cooking and baking over the past year and while some things just aren't the same, some things like this low carb, gluten free blueberry crisp are very good.  Just ask my kids, there is never a bite left!  
Low Carb, Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp
To make this yummy crisp topping low carb, I combined almond flour with unsweetened shredded or chipped coconut and used a low carb sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.  I have tried several low carb sweeteners and my current favorite is Sweet Leaf stevia blend for baking. (amazon link)   It doesn't have a weird aftertaste like some do and tastes the most like real sugar to me.   I actually bought it at my local co-op store for the best price so if you buy it often, I would compare prices.

I add xanthan gum (amazon link) which is a lower carb, gluten free thickener to the blueberries to thicken them a little, but if you don't have xanthan gum, you can leave it out.  This is the brand I have used (amazon link) which I am really happy with, but it is a lot less expensive at Walmart.  It looks like there are lots of other reputable brands on amazon too.  I use xanthan gum now to make gravy when I make roast beef and mashed cauliflower.  I actually like it better than flour for making gravy.  I also use it in place of flour for thickening soups.  Read the directions on the package when substituting for flour as a thickener because you use a lot less.

You can use raspberries or blackberries instead of or mixed in the with blueberries too.  We love this family friendly, kid approved blueberry crisp and hope you will love it too!
