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.Â
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.

Julie, thank you SO much! I’m so glad you liked it <3
Thank you for this recipe! It was delicious, easy, and really needed:) Since you mentioned the topping seemed like a cookie, I actually took a little bit and made one cookie out of it to test it. I would definitely make another batch of topping at some point, just to make some little cookies. Will be using this recipe again.

Thank you so much Lillie!!! So happy you liked it <3
This was surprisingly sweet with such a small amount of sweetener! I really thought it wouldn’t be sweet enough but it was! I will make this again! Thanks.

Thank you so much Sharon!! I love how naturally sweet roasted berries are 🙂
This looks amazing! Will make asap— how many servings does it make would you say?
Thank you!! It depends… I would say it serves 5-6. It could be more, but you’re going to want a big serving 😉
My tigernut flour had not arrived yet. Any chance I could sub cassava flour or something else?
I haven’t tried it with anything else, but let me know if you do!
I made this last night and it is gorgeous!, even better the next day when its a cold snack for lunch in work <3 Thank you! saving my life over here x
