Strawberries and rhubarb are the perfect match in this keto crumble. This Strawberry & Rhubarb Crumble was inspired by this delicious Rhubarb Crisp by Carolyn Ketchum, the very talented writer and photographer at All Day I Dream About Food.

What really makes this crumble special are the macadamia nuts which are not only delicious but also high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats (you can learn more about fats in my guide here). I don't always have fresh strawberries and rhubarb, so I either use frozen or preserved fruits (recipe for Home-made Strawberry & Rhubarb Jam is here).

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

Ok so I have made this once before and really loved it. Decided to make it again today but then I thought ‘once the crumble later is cool, why not see if you can make it even ‘crumblier’? So I pulsed the crumble and it gave that fine granulated biscuit based you usually get in cheesecakes such as the GU pods and WOW! I might use it as a cheesecake ‘biscuit’ base. It certainly works as a crumble topper. Happy to share images and come up with a strawberry cheesecake recipe for this!

Thank you so much, that's great feedback! I'd love to try that next time! Please feel free to tag me on Instagram, I'd love to see your creations! instagram.com/ketodiet_app/

We LOVE this recipe so much! We've been experimenting with using the crumble as a chocolate chip cookie mix. Super tasty--like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie!

Thank you Laura!

I was so hopeful. But as I can't use erythritol, it's again a bust. I was even going to look at your app, but I
Guess I won't now. 😞

That's fine 😊 There are other sweetener options you can use instead: Complete Guide To Sweeteners on a Low-Carb Ketogenic Diet

This was marvellous! Especially the crumble. I had a bit too much, so I had it in the morning as a crunchy cereal, with some coconut milk. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for this recipe!

Thank you Tom! Glad you liked it! 😊

How important is the combination of protein powder, egg whites, and coconutoil/butter? Could that all be substituted for 2 whole eggs well beaten?

Hi Erik, I only use egg whites and protein powder because it gives it a really crispy texture. I haven't tried other combinations with whole eggs so I'm not sure how it works (may be a bit too moist / rich?)

This is one of the best recipes I've tried. I can't believe how good it tastes just like the crumble my mother used to make when I was a kid. Thank you so much!

Thank you Mellissa!! I love making low-carb crumbles. I made another one with mixed berries and cream cheese in between the layers. I will have to post this recipe at some point too! 😊

This looks delicious! I’ve been looking for a low carb recipes, I must add this to my list.

Thank you Kim! 😊

How delicious is this crumble! Love how good for you the recipe is too in comparison to other crumbles, I definitely need to try out the recipe!

Thank you Thalia! Let me know how it turned out 😊

Ohhh I love crispy pies and crumbles but haven't had any since going LCHF which is more than a year ago. I don't crave sweets apart from dark chocolate but I may give this one a try 😊 Do you think it would work with just stevia or would it be too bitter? I don't have any erythritol left...

I think you will still have to use another sweetener. If you use just stevia, you'll have to use a lot and it may get quite bitter... The rhubarb is sour so you'll need to use more sweetener in the fruit layer. Let me know how it turned out! 😊

I love crumble! What do you think, would the crisp work with some almond milk just like cereal... I mean without the strawberry base?

Me too! I think it would but make sure you don't leave it in the milk for too long or you will lose the crispiness.

This looks so yummy! I may add some cream cheese filling in the middle 😉

Thank you Mary! Yes, you can definitely use cream cheese 😊
