A simple and comforting rhubarb crisp with a buttery oat topping that balances tart rhubarb and sweet, crunchy oats. Perfect for spring and summer, this dessert is quick to make and a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the rhubarb is well coated.
  3. Transfer the filling to a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture clumps together slightly.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the rhubarb filling without pressing it down.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes.
  8. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the rhubarb filling to avoid watery crisp. Toast oats lightly for a nuttier flavor. If topping browns too fast, cover with foil. Let crisp cool before serving to set filling. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free version and use coconut oil for vegan adaptation.
