Ingredients

For the Rhubarb Filling

  • 4 cups Frozen Rhubarb (Thawed and drained) Ensure rhubarb is well-drained.
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch For thickening.
  • 1 cup Sugar Use brown sugar for richer flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness.

For the Oat Topping

  • 1 cup Oats Use gluten-free oats if desired.
  • 3/4 cup Flour All-purpose or whole wheat.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Use brown sugar for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds warmth.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors.
  • 1/2 cup Cold Butter Key for a flaky topping.

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the thawed rhubarb, cornstarch, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the oat mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assembly and Baking

  • Spread the rhubarb mixture in a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the rhubarb.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbly.

Notes

Serve warm out of the oven. Enhance with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Ensure rhubarb is well-drained to avoid a soggy crisp. Adjust sugar to taste based on the tartness of rhubarb. Consider adding chopped nuts for a nutty flavor.
