Equipment

  • 9 X 13" Baking Dish (23 X 33 cm)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sliced strawberries
  • 3 cups diced rhubarb leaves and ends removed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour or 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Crisp Topping

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup salted butter* cubed OR melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 9X13 (23 X 33 cm) baking dish. Set aside
  • Add the strawberries, rhubarb, vanilla extract, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour (or 1 tablespoon of cornstarch) into a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
  • Transfer the strawberry rhubarb fruit filling to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  • Combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate large bowl. Whisk well.
  • Add the melted butter to the oatmeal mixture and stir well to coat everything well. Alternatively, If you prefer a crunchier topping, use cold cubed butter and cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Transfer the oatmeal topping to the baking dish, spreading it in an even layer over the fruit filling.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Scoop into bowls and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Gluten-free: Use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch instead of the flour in the fruit filling. Use certified gluten-free oats in the topping, and substitute the flour for your favorite gluten-free 1:1 baking mix (we like Bob's Red Mill). 
*Salted butter: If you use unsalted butter in place of the salted butter in this recipe, simply add an additional ¼-1/2 teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
