  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour sometimes called tapioca starch
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced strawberries, diced rhubarb, orange juice, honey, tapioca flour, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together gently and pour into an 8×8-inch or a 2-quart baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix with two forks until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more coconut oil or maple syrup.

  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  6. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the unbaked crisp for up to three months. Just assemble it and then wrap it tightly before placing it in the freezer. Bake it straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Pairing: Serve this crisp with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with other fruits. Peaches, blueberries, or blackberries can all be great additions!
  • Gluten-free option: Ensure all your ingredients, especially oats and flour, are certified gluten-free if necessary.
