STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP RECIPE

Crisps are a favorite in our house, we love them for a dessert after dinner and also with my morning coffee. They can be made year round with so many fruits and veggies. One our favorite during the late spring and early summer is strawberry rhubarb.

Nothing beats going to the farmers market, getting fresh local berries and rhubarb, bringing it home and whipping up a crisp.

They’re delicious with or without a scoop of ice cream/whip cream.

LOOKING FOR MORE SWEET RECIPES?

We are big sweet fans in our house; crisps, cookies, cakes, ice cream… yum!! We love to bake them ourselves but any fresh homemade goodies will do.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITIONS

Rhubarb
Strawberries
Sugar
Corn Starch
Lemon Juice
Pure Vanilla Extract – In my honest opinion don’t ever buy imitation vanilla, only buy pure vanilla extract!
Butter
Pure Maple Syrup
All-purpose Flour – My favorite flour company to use is King Arthur Flour.
Ground Cinnamon

Can I make these vegan? This recipe can be made vegan by substituting the butter for a vegan butter stick.

Can I make these gluten free? This recipe can also be made gluten free by substituting the flour for a gluten free flour substitute and you use 100% cornstarch and gluten free cooking oats.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP:
PREP FILLING

In a bowl, toss your sliced rhubarb with 3/4 cup of the sugar and let stand for 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, toss your chopped strawberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and let stand for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven 375°. Transfer the rhubarb to the strawberries, if your rhubarb produced a lot of juice carefully drain it out. Add your cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla to the strawberry/rhubarb bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP:
PREP TOPPING

In the large bowl(it’s okay to use the same fruit bowl), combine the “topping” ingredients; butter, maple syrup, flour, ground cinnamon, salt and quick cooking oats. Use a pastry blender, your fingers or a fork and mix the ingredients together until combined.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP:
BAKE CRISP

Sprinkle or scoop the topping evenly over the fruit filling. Bake for 30 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 325° and continue baking for 30 minutes longer or until the fruit filling is bubbling and topping is nicely browned.

Let the crisp rest for at least 30-60 minutes before serving. Taste amazing the next day(or a few days later even).

WHAT DOES STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP PAIR WELL WITH?

A nice cup of coffee, a cup of hot coffee or iced coffee like this Greek Frappe. Raven’s Brew Coffee is by far the best coffee I’d had, and don’t forget I live in the land of coffee.
How about have it with a cup of tea, a Curry Chicken Sandwich?
Or enjoy after dinner, it makes a delicious dessert. This meat loaf recipe is a favorite of ours.

HELPFUL KITCHEN TOOLS:

Mixing bowls – I absolutely love these mixing bowls.

A pasty blender is great to have for this recipe.
