Ingredients for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are best for this crisp recipe, but frozen berries can be used (there is no need to thaw).
- Rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb has a tart fresh flavor. Choose firm stalks that are bright red to deep purple. The leaves of rhubarb are poisonous, so be sure to discard them. If using frozen strawberries, squeeze out excess liquid.
- Oats: Use rolled oats for the best texture. Other varieties of oats can be used but will have a bit of a softer texture.
- Sugar & Spice: Brown sugar adds a caramel sweetness, while cinnamon adds flavor.
- Butter: Use unsalted, room temperature butter in this recipe.
Variations
- Add toasted coconut, walnuts, pecans, or homemade cinnamon sugar to the topping for more crunch and texture.
- Pop in a handful of blueberries, sliced peaches, or blackberries to change the flavor.
Skip the topping and use a pre-made granola in place. If the topping begins to brown too much, lightly tent with foil.
