Ingredients
Strawberry rhubarb filling
- 1 lb strawberries, sliced
- 1 lb rhubarb sticks, chopped
- ⅓ cup organic cane sugar
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice, about 1/2 lemon
Streusel topping
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ¼ cup chopped pecans, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and set aside.
- Make the strawberry rhubarb filling. Add the strawberries, rhubarb, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, arrowroot starch, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined.
- Make the streusel topping. Add oats, flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pieces of butter. Mix until fully combined.
- Add filling to pan. Pour strawberry rhubarb filling into greased baking dish and spread out evenly. Scoop streusel topping on top and spread until evenly coated.
- Bake. Place gluten free strawberry rhubarb crisp in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Topping should be slightly brown and crispy, inside should be bubbling.
- Serve and enjoy! Remove from oven and allow crisp to cool for 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla iced cream, coconut whipped cream, or yogurt.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Though it is best right after baking.
- To make it ahead of time.There are a few options: prep the crisp and store in the fridge covered for up to 2-3 hours before baking. It also keeps well at room temperature for up to 6 hours after baking, or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Crisp also freezes well for up to 1 month. Re-warm before serving for best results.
- If your baking dish is shallow, place it on top of a foil-lined sheet pan to catch any spills that might bubble over the edges.
- For more flavor in the streusel topping add chopped pecans and shredded coconut.
