HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP
- Ruhbarb: Fresh Rhubarb is excellent cooked because it’s so sour, most recipes include some type of sweetener. Cut the rhubarb into 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Strawberries: We prefer fresh strawberries over frozen strawberries for this recipe, you’ll need to hull and quarter the berries.
- Sugar: Use your favorite preferred sugar, we use organic cane sugar.
- Vanilla Extract: Always use real, quality vanilla.
- Combine: In a large bowl, you’ll toss the rhubarb and strawberries together with the sugar and vanilla.
- Crumb Topping time! This is vegan and gluten-free.
- Vegan Butter: You can use your favorite vegan butter, we like earth balance for baking.
- Brown Sugar: You can use organic brown sugar or for 1 cup of brown sugar, you can use coconut sugar or date sugar as a brown sugar alternative.
- Oats: You can use gluten-free or regular if you don’t have a gluten allergy or sensitivity
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a bit of spice, not too much, but the perfect amount.
- Coconut Oil: The oil gives it a little more moisture instead, use melted coconut oil.
- Assemble: Pour the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish – then you’ll even sprinkle the crisp topping over it.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Enjoy: Allow the crisp to cool for 20 minutes before serving, this allows it to set and thicken up before you slice into it.
CAN I USE FROZEN STRAWBERRIES?
We recommend using fresh strawberries as the frozen will release too much liquid and they will be too soft, causing it to be too liquidy.
