6Tablespoonscold butter or vegan buttercut into 1/4" cubes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then spray a medium-sized baking dish, like a 6×9" or 8×8”, with nonstick spray and set aside.
To a large mixing bowl add the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, gluten-free flour blend, and vanilla extract then toss with your fingertips or fold with a spatula to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
For the Crisp Topping:
To the same mixing bowl add the oats, brown sugar, almond flour, sliced almonds, cinnamon, and salt then stir with a fork or your fingertips to combine. Add the cubed butter then use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter until the consistency is like a crumbly paste. Crumble the topping mixture evenly over the strawberry-rhubarb mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is deep golden brown (though not overly-browned as it can taste burnt) and the strawberry-rhubarb mixture is bubbling, rotating the baking dish 180 degrees halfway through. Note: If the crisp topping is already browning at the halfway mark, loosely place a piece of foil on top then continue baking. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to ensure the crisp becomes deep golden brown.
Let the crisp cool until warm or room temperature (the juices will thicken as it cools) then scoop into bowls and serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
If your rhubarb stalks are very large, slice them in half lengthwise before chopping. If any strings come loose, peel them off before chopping.
Rhubarb leaves are poisonous to humans and should be removed before chopping.
