Blackberries are my all-time favourite summer fruit, but I realised I haven’t got one single recipe here on my blog. So here I am sharing my simple and healthy blackberry tart recipe which I have been making for the last couple of years. It is incredibly simple and calls for no fancy ingredients.
They are a few reasons why I love blackberries (apart from their lovely sweet and tangy flavour). I love that they are free and that you can find them anywhere. Me and my other half Mark picked these literally two minutes from where we live.
Isn’t it fantastic when you can get something straight from nature and bake something delicious with it within 15 minutes from harvesting?
They are in full season now, so go out there and get some. Blackberries are also a good source of vitamin C, and dietary fibre.
I love pairing them with apples, as blackberries and apples are best friends forever, especially in my delicious crumble. You could also freeze them and pair with frozen bananas to create an easy and creamy ice cream.
Here's the simple and healthy blackberry tart recipe

Simple and healthy blackberry tart recipe
Clean, simple and healthy blackberry tart recipe made with a handful of ingredients that you already have in your cupboard. Gluten and dairy free too!
Ingredients
- Base:
- 200g ground almonds
- 4 tablespoon coconut oil, not melted
- 1 tablespoon brown rice syrup or any other sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg or for a vegan option use a flax seed egg
- Blackberry filling:
- 5 cups fresh blackberries
- ½ cup ground almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
- Topping: Flaked almonds, coconut powder (instead of icing sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c and grease your tart/pie dish with a bit of coconut oil (I used a 26cm pie dish).
- For the base, combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl until a soft dough forms and then tip the mixture into your prepared tart/pie dish.
- Spread the mixture out evenly and press until firm using your fingers up the side of the dish.
- Prick the base with a fork and bake for around 12 -15 minutes or until slightly brown.
- Once baked, let it cool down completely.
- In the meantime, make the blackberry filling by tossing 4 cups of blackberries with ground almonds, lemon juice, and rice syrup.
- Spoon this mixture into the cooled tart shell. Top with the remaining 1 cup of blackberries and a handful of flaked almonds.
- Place the tart back in the oven and bake for around 25 minutes.
- Serve with some slightly dusted coconut powder.

HEDI.....how many ounces of berries are you using? I’m in USA and I’m not sure if your 5 cups would be the same as mine. They don’t grow here in Florida so I’ve got to figure out how many to buy. Thanks!

Hello Fran, I am not sure. I literally use my coffee mug and fill it up 5 times. I dont measure it precisely. Hope this helps a bit Fran. Hedi x x x

Hi Hedi yes it does, thanks. We use cup measures here More than scales with lbs and ounces and one cup is equivalent to 8 ounces, so I just did 5 of them and it turned out fine. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Fran xx
