Servings
8 slices
Time
40-45 minutes
Ingredients
- CRUST:
- 1 cup gluten free flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup cold vegan butter, cubed
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1-2 Tbsp ice cold water
- ¼ tsp Pink Himalyan Sea Salt
- FILLING:
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup rhubarb, cut into ½ inch pieces
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In your food processor or blender, mix the two types of flour, vegan butter, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and sea salt. Mix until a dough begins to form. If dough is too crumbly, slowly add 1-2 tbsp of ice cold water. Sprinkle a bit of flour on a flat surface and knead dough until a ball can be formed. If dough becomes too wet, add more flour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle parchment with a bit of flour. Place dough on the parchment paper and use your hand to shape into a circle, about ¼ inch thick. Don’t worry if the edges are a bit jagged.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the 2 tsp of coconut oil. Add the strawberries and rhubarb and cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes, or until soft. Turn off the heat, and add the yacon syrup, cornstarch and vanilla. Let sit until mixture begins to thicken up (about 5 minutes).
- Pour mixture into middle of prepared dough, leaving a couple of inches around the edges. Fold the edges inward, over the outer edge of the fruit filing. Fix any torn edges with your fingers. Optional: brush the crust with olive oil before baking. Bake for 40-45 minutes on center rack. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
