How To Make Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Let’s make this healthy strawberry rhubarb crisp gluten-free, shall we?
- Make keto strawberry rhubarb sauce. In a saucepan, simmer rhubarb, strawberries, and Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener, until volume is reduced, and strawberries and rhubarb are soft.
- Thicken keto rhubarb crisp filling. Add lemon juice, vanilla, and xanthan gum over the fruit mixture. Stir gently to combine and pour into a baking dish.
TIP: Be sure to evenly sprinkle xanthan gum over the fruit mixture. Don’t dump it, or it can clump.
- Make the healthy rhubarb and strawberry crisp topping. In a medium bowl, mix together Besti monk fruit sweetener (crystallized this time!), almond flour, chopped almonds, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter.
- Top fruit mixture with topping. Smooth with a spatula.
- Bake. It’s done when it’s bubbly and topping is golden brown!
Is Rhubarb Low Carb?
Yes, rhubarb is very low in carbohydrates. Each cup of rhubarb has just 26 calories and 3 grams net carbs. It’s why keto friendly rhubarb recipes exist!
Rhubarb is not a very sweet fruit, as evidenced by the carb count, but when combined with a keto sweetener like Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener, it becomes the perfect combo of sweet and tart for this low carb rhubarb crumble recipe.

This easy healthy strawberry rhubarb crisp can be stored at room temperature for a short time.

I made this recipe tonight after wanting to make it since finding it after last year’s rhubarb season ended. I lost track of time and it ended up in the oven closer to 45 minutes. Thanks to the allulose, it just caramelized and has a lovely brown sugar flavor now. I might call it more of a dump cake than a crisp, but it’s very, very good. Thank you for another lovely recipe.
Dani M
Thank you for all your delicious recipes. I followed this recipe, but alas also had the soggy topping (vs. crisp that I was looking for). I took the suggestion from “MH,” and cut down on the sweetener to ½ cup. I cooked the fruit, and then took it out of the liquid, and reduced the liquid, but the fruit continued to give off more liquid as it baked.
I think that next time I’ll just try baking the top separately on a cookie sheet, and add it as it is served. It tasted good anyway, which is the main point! Especially w/ some keto ice cream!
MH
Overall, this is a great recipe! For my taste I would cut the sweetness by 25-50% because I like to let the tartness of the rhubarb to really come through. Even my sweets-loving husband said, “This is good but too sweet even for me.” I couldn’t get the fruit mixture to reduce to half without the fruit turning to mush, but moisture content is going to vary. I opted to have it be a little runny rather than overcooking it. I used chopped pecans in the crumble and it was very tasty! Would make again using much less sugar alternative.

I liked this very much,except, I would use far less almond flour crust and crumble next time. Probably put in smaller pan like 9×9”. Same amount of fruit though. I did bake the crust a few minutes prior to adding filling.
It just gets too soggy. Not sure if I did something wrong. The nice thing about Maya’s recipes, you can change it up to individual liking. Strawberry rhubarb pie was something I miss the most since going gluten free/keto. This is such a delightful treat.
Patricia Thompson
This was amazing and will definitely make it again. Yummy !!!

My son has an almond allergy. Is it possible to use a different low-carb flour? Thank you! I love your recipes!

Hi Jennifer, We haven’t tried making this with another flour, sorry. You could try using 1/4 the amount of coconut flour (not a 1:1 replacement), but the texture will be different.
Ana
For a dairy-free version, what would you recommend substituting for the butter? Coconut oil? Cocoa butter? Grapeseed oil?
Many thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ana, Coconut oil would be the best replacement.
Jenn Doe
Can you use this filling for a pie shell?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jenn, Yes, absolutely!
Diane
Can you use frozen strawberries with end of season rhubarb? Love your recipes.
Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diane, Yes, you can! Enjoy!
