Keto Rhubarb Crisp Recipe

Ingredients:

Crumble Topping:
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
2 tbsp ground flax meal
1-2 tbsp Low Carb Sugar Substitute
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5-7 drops liquid stevia
Pinch of salt

Rhubarb Filling:
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 lb rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (fresh or thawed from frozen)
2 tbsp Low Carb Sugar Substitute
10 drops liquid stevia

Instructions:
Crumble Topping:
For the topping, preheat oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, shredded coconut, flax seed meal, pecans, erythritol sweetener, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, vanilla and stevia extract.

Add butter mixture to the almond flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or two knives to blend in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread out evenly on prepared baking sheet and pat down with hands to flatten slightly.

Bake 10 minutes, then gently stir. Bake another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool completely.

Rhubarb Filling:
For the filling, preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, combine water and chia seeds and allow to soak for 5-7 minutes. Stir in rhubarb, erythritol sweetener, and stevia extract, tossing to coat.

Spread rhubarb mixture into a 9x13 inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
Cover tightly with foil and bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until mixture is bubbling and rhubarb is tender.

Remove filling from oven and remove foil. Break cooled topping into pieces with your hand and place over filling to cover completely. Serve warm.

If desired, top with lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

Keto + Anti-Inflammatory Foods = Powerful Healing Combo

Eating keto isn’t just about fat loss… it can also help calm inflammation in the body.

Chronic inflammation is linked to issues like arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes — so what you eat truly matters.

Here are some of my go-to anti-inflammatory, keto-friendly foods👇

🥑 1. Healthy Fats Are Everything
Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, and nuts (like macadamia & walnuts) are loaded with healthy fats that help reduce inflammation.

🐟 Omega-3 rich fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are especially powerful.

🥬 2. Low-Carb Veggies (Don’t Skip These!)
Leafy greens (spinach, kale, arugula), plus broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts = nutrient-dense and full of antioxidants.

🌿 3. Healing Spices
Turmeric (add black pepper!), ginger, cinnamon, and garlic all have natural anti-inflammatory benefits.

🫐 4. Berries — In Moderation
Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries give you antioxidants without kicking you out of ketosis (just keep portions small).

🚫 5. Avoid Inflammatory Foods
Even on keto, watch out for:
• Processed meats
• Refined/industrial oils (soybean, corn, seed oils)
• Artificial sweeteners

💜 Small daily choices add up. Fuel your body with foods that help it heal, not hurt.
