Spring is almost here! You can feel it in the air, and I’ve been treasuring the extra hours of sunlight after a very long and dark Seattle winter. There’s been more sunny days scattered between the rain, flowers are starting to peek out from the ground, and hopefully the sad, bare trees will start turning green again any day now.

But what’s really making me jump up and down for spring is the return of fresh fruits and veggies! When I spotted rhubarb at the grocery store a few weeks ago, I jumped on it, and immediately started thinking of all the rhubarb desserts I could make this spring.

This crisp is Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, and vegan.My love for rhubarb is relatively new. I hadn’t really used the veggie much until last year, but after making this Berry Rhubarb Pie and Caramel Rhubarb Cake, I fell in love with the tart flavor to brings to any treat it’s added to. I’ve been anxiously awaiting it’s arrival this season, and my first rhubarb dessert doesn’t disappoint!

Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic combination, and for good reason: the sweetness of the strawberries pairs so deliciously with the tart rhubarb. For this crisp filling, strawberries and rhubarb are tossed with maple syrup for sweetness, a little bit of lemon to brighten the flavors, and tapioca flour to help thicken things up a little bit.

The topping is made with almond and coconut flours and sweetened with both coconut sugar and maple syrup. I added pistachios for crunch and color, but you can substitute any nut you’d like or have on hand.

This strawberry rhubarb crisp is a pretty guilt-free dessert – it’s gluten-free, vegan, and Paleo-friendly! In fact, you could totally have this crisp for breakfast with zero guilt. Topped with some coconut cream or a bit of yogurt and you’ll be in healthy breakfast heaven!
