This Raspberry Coconut Crumble Tart has an almond coconut crust that doubles as a crumble topping, filled with fresh raspberries! This easy recipe is Paleo-friendly, gluten free, refined sugar free, and vegan.
It’s been a little while since I posted something healthier, because I’ve been too busy shoving lots of cookies and cakes in your face (and my face). No regrets, you (we) deserved some chocolate.
However, it’s time for a little detox. Not a real detox though, because real detoxes are hard and not delicious. This detox involves a raspberry coconut crumble tart, which is anything but hard, and it’s most definitely delicious.
After sooo much chocolate, I was craving something light and fruity. Because I adore raspberries, hadn’t baked with them in a while, and they were on sale at the grocery store, they became the star of the show.
Normally I wouldn’t think to pair coconut and raspberries, but Natalie over at Tastes Lovely made an incredible looking Healthy Chocolate Tart that used my crust recipe from this Dark Chocolate, Coconut & Macadamia Nut Tart and it reminded me of how much I love that crust! It’s made of almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut oil, and a teensy bit of sweetener. It bakes up golden brown and a little crispy, but softens after a few hours of cooling. It’s super delicious, and you won’t care at all that it’s healthy.
After making the crust, I piled on some lightly sweetened raspberries on top and added a little bit of crumble. The crumble is repurposed from the crust – I’m not trying to do more work than I need to.
Pop it in the oven for 45 minutes, but after 20 tent it with foil to prevent the crust from getting too brown. Trust me. I forgot and uh, almost burnt this one. Learn from my mistakes. Burnt coconut = no good.
After the tart cools completely, devour. Seriously. There’s no gluten, dairy, refined sugar, grains, eggs, or guilt in this tart. It’s totally safe for all you Paleo folks too.
My housemates were dubious about this one, but they all told me that even though they weren’t sure they would like it, it was surprisingly delicious and they ate it happily. Even the one who doesn’t like coconut! Win.

And then, if you want, make this raspberry coconut crumble tart a little less healthy and add ice cream. To keep it Paleo, make banana ice cream! Enjoy :)

Raspberry Coconut Crumble Tart (Paleo, GF + Vegan)
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
For the crust
- 1 cup 96g blanched almond flour
- ¾ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons coconut oil, solid
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add raspberries, honey and tapioca starch to a medium bowl and toss until coated. Set the mixture aside while you make the crust.
- Add the almond flour, shredded coconut, honey, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt to a different bowl and whisk until combined. Add the coconut oil and use your fingers to work it in until coarse crumbs form and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Remove a heaping ½ cup of the crumbs for the topping and pour the remaining crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough evenly into the pan. Pour the raspberry mixture over the crust, making sure the juices stay behind in the bottom of the bowl.
- Sprinkle the reserved crust evenly over the top of the berries.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is lightly brown. At around 20 minutes, tent the tart with foil to prevent it from getting too brown. Let cool completely before slicing into wedges and serving.
Love this recipe! I was nervous about using the coconut sugar (because it smelled funny) so I ended up using a few tablespoons of cane sugar. Do you have any suggestions other than the coconut sugar? Aside from that, this was super delicious, easy to make, and my whole family enjoyed it. Nobody knew it was GF & vegan! So cool!
Hi Terrie. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Coconut sugar is my go-to granulated sweetener of choice for Paleo/refined sugar free baked goods. There’s not a great substitute that I’ve found, but it just provides a slight sweetness comparable to brown sugar, and doesn’t leave any weird smells.
Hi love
I made the tart, but had an issue, it absolutely doenst look like the picture. It all mush up together and doesn’t look like a crumble-as the picture- .. i did follow the recipe as is, what could have i done wrong – fyi, flavor is good
Hi Rita, sorry you had trouble! Was it possible the coconut oil was too soft? If the crumble didn’t seem “crumbly”, you can always add a bit more almond flour to reduce the moisture. Hope this helps!
Hi Rachel,
I’m new to your blog and I must say I’m loving it. I made your strawberry fudge and mini raspberry tarts and the weekend and I must say with great success. (I’m not a great baker) I’ve noticed in quite a few recipes you use almond flour. Can this be ever substituted for Coconut flour? I can’t eat almonds. I appreciate the taste will be different but will it hold the same?
Many thanks,
Rachael
Hi Rachael, thanks for asking, because actually, coconut flour is super unique in that it’s WAY more absorbent than most flours – about 3x more absorbent than almond flour. To sub coconut flour for almond flour, you’ll usually use about 1/3 of the amount. It won’t work in all recipes though!
Absolutely delicious! And, I agree with the former comments about the crust. It will be my go to crust from now on. I didn’t have a tart plate so I just used a pie plate and it came out fine. Pinned this recipe!
Thanks so much for the love, Donna! So glad you’re loving it.
Hi, it looks lovely, I tired it ot but the crust and crumb did not “crunch”. It’s too moist for a tart.
Could it be too much oil?
I must try it again! love the flavors
Thanks,
Romy
Hi Romy, could be that or if you used frozen fruit, that would’ve made things too wet. You can try baking the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling and crumble topping for a crisper crust, too!
I’ve made this recipe SO many times and love it. I wanted to see if you think it would taste any good with blood plums instead of raspberries? I’ve got quite a few at the moment as they’re now in season in Australia. If not, I’ve got frozen raspberries that I may defrost and use after pre-baking the tart. Thank you for such a beautiful recipe!
Hi Ashleigh, I’ve never tried that type of plum before so I can’t say for sure, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
Delicious!!! THANKYOU
Woohoo so glad you loved it!
Came out perfectly! So delicious – thank you for the recipe
So glad you loved it!
