The most sustainable way to eat is by shopping local farmer’s markets and cooking what’s in season. For April, strawberry and rhubarb are our favorite combination, especially with the fresh California strawberries. Strawberries make the best snack, but taste even better when baked in this delicious vegan & gluten free crisp!

Ingredients:

Filling:
4 cups organic strawberries (cut in half)
3 cups rhubarb (1 inch pieces)
½ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice

¾ cup almond or coconut flour
½ cup coconut sugar
¾ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger
½ tsp salt
½ cup vegan butter (cut into cubes) (or use coconut oil)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the filling ingredients.

3. In a processor or blender, combine the topping ingredients until crumbly.
