Ingredients
Fruit Filling
3 cups strawberries, halved
2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tbsp cornstarch
¼ cup maple syrup
Crisp Topping
½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
½ cup almond flour
(or cassava flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
¼ cup coconut sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup vegan butter, cubed
(or coconut oil)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Make the Fruit Filling
Place the strawberries and rhubarb into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, cornstarch, and maple syrup until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the fruit and gently toss until evenly coated.
Step 3: Prepare the Crisp Topping
Add the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vegan butter to a food processor.
Pulse until a crumbly texture forms.
Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a bowl and use your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
Step 4: Assemble
Transfer the fruit mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the crisp to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
Notes
Fresh or frozen strawberries and rhubarb can be used.
If using frozen fruit, do not thaw before baking.
For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.
Adjust maple syrup according to the sweetness of your fruit.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
