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!

Those look so f-ing delicious!!! Well you come cook for me?!?!
I’ve never eaten rubarb but might consider it after seeing this. I can do this.
Liver. I’ve been trying to work some in here and there. It is terrible, vile and disgusting all at once. I don’t advise mucking up awesome grassfed ground beef by trying to “hide” liver in it. I don’t think liver can be hidden. I’ve resorted to plopping a big bite in my mouth as a “snack” a couple times a week (kind of like taking medicine) since everyone says it’s so great for me. That could be the ultimate paleomg challenge: a recipe to make liver tolerable. If anyone can do it, JB can. See if Laura will taste test those for you…
Beef liver & onions (cooked in butter) is one of my FAVORITE meals, but I accept that I have different tastes than most… when I was a kid my favorite meal was split pea soup. As in, when my mom said, “It’s your birthday next week, Carol, do you want a special meal or anything?” I said, “OOHH split pea soup, PLEASE??!” Maybe b/c she put bacon in it though… haha
I’m obsessed with Rhubarb right now, and these look especially awesome!
I WILL fight you! Liver is awesome! I hated it when I was a kid, then a friend made me fried (free-range) chicken livers and I was sold. After that I’ve mostly had deer liver, fresh out of a (free-range, of course) deer! Throw it in a skillet with butter and lots of onions, salt and pepper, and whatever other seasonings. You’re missing out… 🙂
Also, made coconut rhubarb pie a couple of years ago and it was AMAZING. Try it. (in other words, feel free to make up a Paleo version with coconut butter and little sweetener and I’ll be very happy…)
Delicious sounding recipe… great pics… yeah yeah…. i wanna know about the crush!!! i’m excited for you! pics?? 🙂
You just made me google “Miami paddleboarding”, so i guess i’ll be giving it a try soon. Sounds like you had a great weekend!
Strawberry-rhubarb pie was my fav as a kid!! I used to ask my mom to make me that for my birthday instead of a cake. I know, I’m weird, what kid didn’t want a cake. Whatever, okay.
Yes, rhubarb is like red celery, only sour. Which is why it pairs well with the strawberries, and the honey. Sweet and sour!
So the other day when I was at WF, I saw rhubarb and just had to buy some, along with strawberries. I made a pie filling, but didn’t want to make a whole pie thing with paleo crust and all. So I just cooked it up on the stovetop and ate it right out of the pot, stupid hot, burned my tongue. Whatever. Who needs a tongue?! Never occurred to me to do something like this!! Duh!! I told you, I am not good at converting nonpaleo things to paleo friendly. My brain just doesn’t work that way. So this is now on my gotta do list. YOU’RE AWESOME. Thanks for another good one! Can’t wait to try it!
Rhubarb is awesome! I have this great recipe for a sour cream chocolate rhubarb coffee cake. Of course, it’s all full of wheat flour and dairy… sigh.
A tip about rhubarb: if you want to grow it, plant ONE plant. It’s kind of a weed in that once it’s established, it won’t die. My Dad tried to kill some with RoundUp once, and they lived. Zombie plants. But tasty zombie plants.
Looking forward to your paddleboarding post, I’ve always wanted to try it!
First time poster, long time reader (and cooker). These are AMAZING. I got rhubard in my CSA box this week and honestly didn’t know what to do with it, until I saw your post. I think this would work just as well with other types of berries as well. The crust is perfect. I would also think that reversing the layers and making it more of a crumble would be great too. Thanks for a great post!

That looks super good… writing down ingredients right NOW.
