As in, it took every ounce of will-power to not consume my blog post before I could complete the photography task.

You’re also looking at that time I ate dessert in the middle of the day.

Without shame.

Shamelessly.

I did save some of the crumble for my friends. And let me tell you, I experienced serious cognitive dissonance over that. Meaning I didn’t want to share. And yet, I knew I should. Because sharing is caring. And so I did.

Grain-Free Vegan Paleo Strawberry Crumble made with only a few basic ingredients

Recipe Highlights:

Here’s the skinny on this baby beluga: This paleo strawberry crumble is gluten-free, grain-free, naturally sweetened, vegan, paleo, and on the healthier end of the dessert spectrum! 

Ingredients for Paleo Strawberry Crumble:

The topping is made with almond flour, coconut oil, and a touch of pure maple syrup. The end result is a perfectly crispy topping that tastes nice and buttery, yet it’s butter-less! There is so little added sugar to this recipe, and yet you’d never even know it!

The strawberry filling mixture is a combination of fresh strawberries, tapioca flour, and pure maple syrup. The tapioca flour makes the filling extra thick, gooey and amazing!

How to Make Paleo Strawberry Crumble:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, toss together the strawberries, tapioca flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Transfer to an 8” x 8” baking pan.

Mix together the ingredients for the crumble topping in a mixing bowl. Evenly spread it over the strawberries and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the strawberries are juicy and bubbly and the topping is golden-brown.

Major recommendation: serve this paleo strawberry crumble with Boozy Roasted Cherry Dark Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream, Coconut Whipped Cream, or even Dulce de Leche Ice Cream.

Hi! Can I sub frozen strawberries? I know there is more moisture, so cook longer?

Hi Ashley!

You can use frozen strawberries for sure! I would thaw them strawberries first so that the topping doesn't burn from a longer bake time. To speed up the thawing process, microwave the strawberries or heat them in a saucepan until thawed. Hope you enjoy!

I’m very late coming to this post but I just made this as my Paleo daughter is now living with me. I only had a pint of strawberries so I halved the recipe for two generous servings in 1-cup ramekins. The berries were too sour so added a little BochaSweet ( BochaSweet is sourced from 100% non-GMO kabocha squash—it’s not bitter at all like Stevia is to my tastebuds)—the rest I did as the recipe called for. DELICIOUS! And so easy. I’ll make this over and over. The crumble will be good on other fruits, too!

Ooh, this is the first time I have heard of BochaSweet...I'll have to try it! The crumble is so, so tasty with other berries, as you imagined! I've made it with raspberries and blackberries, and have also made an apple and a peach version. It's just such a great go-to. Thanks so much for dropping the sweet note! xo

Hi, I can't eat Tapioca. Can I substitute almond or coconut flour?

Thanks!

Hi Kathy,

You can substitute the tapioca for corn starch if you're able to do corn starch. My guess is replacing it with a small amount of coconut flour (I'd only use a tablespoon or two) or almond flour (you may need to play with the almond flour and keep adding it until you get a nice, thick consistency), though I've never tested the recipe without tapioca. Let me know what adjustments you make and how it turns out!! :D
