This strawberry rhubarb crisp screams summertime! It’s packed with flavor and is a healthier paleo version a classic.

After I made my paleo apple crisp at Thanksgiving, I was already planning for this recipe in the summer. Strawberry rhubarb has always been a classic combination that’s intrigued me, but for some reason, I never tried it until this spring. And boy, was I missing out! The flavor is spot on for summer and sweetened by nature. Adding a crisp topping to the amazing flavor combination only makes it even more delicious in this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.

Not only is the strawberry rhubarb to die for, but the crisp topping is on point. It’s basically just one big crispy cookie topping. Pinch me.

I could eat this all day long, but realistically, this is perfect for bringing to a summer gathering or serving at your own backyard BBQ. It’s paleo, AIP compliant, and much lower in sugar than other traditional recipes.

The Ingredients You’ll Need For the Paleo Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Fresh strawberries

The fresher the better!

Fresh rhubarb

Rhubard is hard to find any other time of year, but I’ve been seeing it in every grocery store! It’s a long, red stalk that will likely confuse the cashier, so be prepared 😉

Tigernut flour

Tigernut is the main flour in the crisp, and it is not a nut! You can read more about tigernut here. 

Shredded coconut and coconut oil

This isn’t a coconut free recipe and I wouldn’t suggest subbing these out.

Arrowroot starch

You can likely sub tapioca starch, though I haven’t tried it

Maple syrup

You can also sub honey if you’re not vegan.
