Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup Swerve Brown (or other erythritol-based sweetener)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 5 tbsp butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 2 pounds chopped rhubarb
- 1/3 cup powdered Swerve (more if desired for sweetness)
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp glucomannan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, cinnamon, salt, and Swerve Brown. Pulse to mix.
- Add butter pieces and pulse again until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, pressing down firmly with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread chopped rhubarb in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with powdered Swerve and glucomannan, then toss to combine.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes or until rhubarb is tender and bubbling.
- Remove the filling from the oven and discard the foil. Break the cooled topping into pieces and scatter it over the rhubarb filling.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the topping to crisp up.
- Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with keto vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Press the topping mixture firmly before baking to ensure it crisps up properly.
- The topping will continue to crisp as it cools, so be patient before serving.
- For an alternative, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, though it will alter the texture slightly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to two days or refrigerate for up to five days.
- If you’re not fond of Swerve, you can substitute with another erythritol-based sweetener like monk fruit, but the crispness may vary.
