Vegan and paleo strawberry rhubarb crisp that’s maple-sweetened, nut-free and also AIP-friendly. Can also be made with other types of fruit!

Ingredients

For the topping:

  • 2/3 cup (56 grams) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup (46 grams) Otto's cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup (34 grams) arrowroot starch/flour
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons (20 grams) coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) coconut oil unrefined, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup honey works for a non-vegan version but the result is a little sweeter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
  • 2/3 cup (158 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 4 cups (445 grams) rhubarb cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 4 cups (572 grams) strawberries cut into 1/2" chunks

Instructions

  • Move the oven rack to the bottom position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and get out an 8"x8"x2.5" (or larger) baking dish (with or something similarly sized. It should be big enough to hold about 9 cups.
  • Prepare the topping. Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and then pour the oil, maple and vanilla on top. Stir until well combined. It will be VERY liquid at the beginning but will quickly firm up and by the time the filling is ready, it'll be as firm as a wheat-based crumble topping.
    2/3 cup (56 grams) unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/3 cup (46 grams) Otto's cassava flour, 1/4 cup (34 grams) arrowroot starch/flour, 2 1/2 tablespoons (20 grams) coconut flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (113 grams) coconut oil, 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together everything except for the fruit. It may be a little lumpy and that's okay. Stir in the fruit and coat in the liquid mixture.
    2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot flour, 2/3 cup (158 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt, 4 cups (445 grams) rhubarb, 4 cups (572 grams) strawberries
  • Pour the fruit onto the bottom of the ungreased pan and top with the topping. Pat the topping down a bit to make there that there aren't any pointy bits (if any little bits are sticking out a lot more than the others, they'll burn). If you think there's any chance of the fruit bubbling over, place the baking dish on a baking sheet before putting in the oven.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  • Let cool for at least 2 hours. The sauce will thicken during this time. If you eat it hot from the oven, the sauce will be very watery and later on, the leftover fruit part of the crumble will be gloopy rather than the saucy.
  • Store at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3.

Notes

  • I don't recommend using a different brand of cassava flour as they vary so much. I also don't know of a sub that would work.
  • I haven't tried tapioca in place of the arrowroot, so I have no idea if it'd work. I'm also not sure of other subs as I haven't tried them.
  • There's no sub for the coconut flour.
