Low-carb strawberry rhubarb crisp

✨ A BONUS dessert recipe ✨

Hello friends and happy Monday! I have a bonus recipe to share with you and it feels like a good one to kick off the last week of July, and what for us is the last week of summer break.

My older kids start school in a week and it’s just so early and I’m not quite ready to give up our lazy mornings and jump back into the school routine. Early August is early, right? A friend told me the other day that next year’s school year begins in late July and oh my word, that’s not right.

We’re still in the thick of 100-degree days, it’s ideal pool weather, and I’m so into my giant summery salads featuring juicy peaches and fresh basil (will be sharing one of those said salad recipes with you on Thursday). So it’ll take more than the back-to-school routine and Halloween decorations at Costco (!!!) to get me on board with summer coming to an end just yet.

In honor of the last week of our summer break, here’s a quintessential summer dessert for you that is one of my favorite combinations: sweet strawberries with tart rhubarb covered in a nutty crisp topping which bakes until the fruit is bubbly and jammy and the crisp topping is beautifully toasted.

This is a recipe I created a couple of years ago in partnership with a keto granola brand. I never shared it on the blog but I think it deserves its own post here.

A couple of noteworthy things…

• You can use your favorite keto/grain-free granola or swap in a mix of chopped walnuts and/or pecans, similar to the topping in my keto blackberry crumble recipe. The recipe was originally made with NuTrail, which is one of my favorite sugar-free /grain-free granolas, but Purely Elizabeth’s or Autumn’s Gold would be so good, too.

• It’s grain-free, gluten-free, low-carb and low-glycemic. You can even make a plant-based and paleo version if you substitute the butter for coconut oil.

• The recipe and PDF is viewable below to my paid subscribers.

A big THANK YOU if you’ve upgraded to paid recently. I appreciate you and I’m excited to have you cooking and baking along with us. If you are new here, welcome!

While I like to focus my newsletter on quick and easy low-carb meals, I know sweet, low-sugar/low-carb treats are always in demand, which is why much of my bonus content will fall into that category.

Here’s one I hope you love. And here’s to savoring every bite of summer while we still can.
