These aren’t really like mini pies, but they’re trying ok?! Give my mini pies a break.
They’re kind of like peanut butter and jam bars, minus the peanut butter…or real jam. But you get my flow.
‘Year One’ is the all time worst movie ever. Don’t fight me on this one.
I got to go wakeboarding again this weekend. I’m starting to seriously really love it. This time I stopped being quite as scared and learned how to ride toe side. It still makes me super nervous, but I played it safe so I didn’t peel any layers back from the skin on my face when I hit the water. I was like a giddy little school child. Every time I crossed the wake on my toe side, I would get an instant grin on my face and look to my crush in the boat to see if they saw. You crossed the wake JB, congratulations. Stop thinking you’re cool. Whatsoever.
I also went paddleboarding. Oh yes I did. I stood up on a board and…paddled. But I can’t tell you a ton about that because I’ll actually be writing a blog post for The New Primal all about my baby-deer-like experience on a paddle board. So you’ll just have to check over there to see when I post it! Have you heard about The New Primal yet?! They’re pretty awesome. I just became a writer for them and am working on some product development as well! If you’re an outdoor enthusiast or looking to become one, they have some daaaaamn delicious jerky packs that you can take with you on the go! And if you use the coupon code: paleomg, you get 15% your purchse! Boom!
Sooooo I don’t really know what rhubarb is. I do know that it looks like red celery. And it’s on sale right now. So I have to cook with it. A bargain shopper is a smart shopper, right Mother? Right. And rhubarb goes really well with other sweet things. I tried eating it raw and I feel very neutral about that. I probably won’t try it again. Baked with honey is way better. But what isn’t?
Liver. Liver is gross. Once again, don’t try to fight me on this one either.
Strawberry & Rhubarb Mini Pies
- Yield: 8-12 1x
Ingredients
For the topping
- 2 large stalks of rhubarb, ends removed, diced
- 8–10 strawberries, stems removed, diced
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white, whisked
For the crust
- 1 cup walnuts
- 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white, whisked
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Place your diced rhubarb and strawberries in a 8×8 glass baking dish and cover with honey, vanilla, and coconut oil. Mix well.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until your rhubarb is completely soft.
- While your fruit roasts, add your walnuts to a food processor and pulse until completely broken down.
- Then add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor, including the egg and mix to incorporate. You should get a ball of dough stick dough.
- Place silicone muffin liners OR regular paper muffin liners in a muffin tin and use a spoon to scoop out a large tablespoon, place in your muffin tin, then press down to create a bottom crust.
- Repeat until crust ingredients are gone. I got ~10 muffins filled with crust.
- Once your rhubarb is soft and cooked through, remove from oven and using a fork to break up the strawberry and rhubarb to create a jam. Pour your “jam” into a bowl to cool for about 2 minutes.
- Then add your whisked egg white and mix thoroughly with your “jam”.
- Use a spoon once again to spoon your jam mixture over your crusts, evenly distributing throughout.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let cool, that sh*t gets hoooooot!
- Eat those cute little babies up!

Love paddleboarding. I tried it for the first time last summer.
Rhubarb and Strawberries are a match made in heaven…tart and sweet. And no, don’t eat it raw unless you plan on dipping it straight into sugar (obviously not paleo)..coincidentally I hear this is a delicious way to eat it when it’s super fresh
These look incredible! Must try these this weekend!
Love, LOVE the paddleboarding; lakes are good, ocean’s better. Trying rivers this summer.
Can’t wait to try this recipe – sounds like a great last day of school breakfast. My kids (who up until this point have been pretty Paleo resistant) think you are the bomb. I seem to recall the words “She is my newest favorite person” coming out of my daughter’s mouth after checking out your blog. I think my son would marry you. If he weren’t 11. Thanks for cutting their complaining by a good 7%. Now if you could just figure out a way to make chores fun….
These look delicious. I wonder if they would work with blueberries?? I’ll try and let y’all know.
I won’t find you on the liver thing……….trust me! It’s N A S T Y! Makes me almost gag thinking about it! BARF!
liver = so good with bacon. but what the eff isn’t good with bacon? if you’re trying to get more into offal, try beef tongue. looks gross, feels gross, but stick it in the crock pot with some spices for 8 hours, let it cool some, peel the outer layer off, cube it up, and warm it through with some tomatoes, tomatillos, spicy peppers, and cumin… yummmmmmmmmmmm.
My husband’s favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb and I wasn’t sure how to tackle it this summer with the paleo thing going on. This is awesome! 🙂 Thanks, and I’m sure Matt thanks you too!
I’m eating liver this very moment. I found a way to like it though so its ok. I’ve never tried either of those sports but I have tried windsurfing and that was an adventure to say the least.
I had chicken livers for lunch. Delicious. 🙂
Year One is probably one of the biggest let downs I’ve ever viewed. Fact.
I’m so jealous of your paddleboarding. It’s been on my bucket list for some time now. It’s hard living in Fargo to find a decent place to paddleboard. Just sayin.
Also, this recipe is outstanding. The little pies are just so damn precious. Can’t wait to try this out. Thanks JB
OMG! stop posting things I can’t have on the sugar detox!!! Ahhhh! My list of “foods i need to eat as soon as this thing is over” is WAY too long…
