Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Prepare the rhubarb filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish.
  3. Make the crisp topping: In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add cold cubed butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  4. Assemble: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the rhubarb.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  6. Rest: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute half the rhubarb with strawberries for a classic strawberry-rhubarb twist.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
