This strawberry rhubarb crisp has a thick, delicious layer of oat-based topping, is gluten-free, whole grain and can easily be made dairy-free and vegan!

Ingredients

For the fruit:

  • 2 cups (250 grams) rhubarb cut into 3/4" pieces
  • 2 cups (282 grams) strawberries hulled and cut into 3/4" pieces
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar or raw sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch
  • pinch salt

For the topping:

  • 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (75 grams) oat flour use GF oat flour, if necessary; see notes
  • 1 1/4 cups (115 grams) rolled oats use GF oats, if necessary
  • 2/3 cup (132 grams) light brown sugar or raw sugar
  • 2/3 cup (149 grams) butter for vegan / dairy-free, use 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (126 grams) refined coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 1-quart, 8"x8" or another similar sized baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, almond extract, vanilla extract, cornstarch and salt.
    1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, pinch salt
  • Add the chopped fruit and stir to coat in the mixture. Let sit for at least 10 minutes while preparing the topping.
    2 cups (250 grams) rhubarb, 2 cups (282 grams) strawberries
  • In another large mixing bowl, stir together the oat flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter or coconut oil and salt until well combined.
    3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (75 grams) oat flour, 1 1/4 cups (115 grams) rolled oats, 2/3 cup (132 grams) light brown sugar, 2/3 cup (149 grams) butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Spoon the fruit mixture into the pan and top with the topping. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is firm and the fruit is bubbling. The topping will appear to be quite runny around 25-30 minutes but firms up in the last 10-15 minutes of baking. The filling may also appear runny while warm but thickens as it cools.
  • Let cool for 30 minutes and serve warm or room temperature. Cover and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • To make oat flour, grind rolled or quick oats in a coffee grinder or small food processor until it resembles flour.
