Recipe (Re)creation: Paleo Strawberry Crisp




Is there anything in life sweeter than fresh strawberries? I mean, maybe? But debatable... My whole family swoons over these bright red berries and they magically disappear in minutes. I was tempted to just eat all of our latest pick from Blue House Farm, but I also knew we were heading out of town and there was no way we could eat all of our berries in a few days without some serious belly aches. So, berry crisp here we come! I always try to make my baking somewhat healthy, so I made a paleo version of one of my favorite crisps from childhood. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For filling-
  • 4 cups strawberries, trimmed and halved
  • 1 Tbsp. tapioca flour
  • 2 Tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 meyer lemon, juiced
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup

For topping-

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and mix the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. 
-Transfer the filling to a pie dish and begin mixing the topping ingredients in the bowl. 
-Spread the topping over the strawberry filling and bake for 30 minutes.
-Let stand for 5-10 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream.
