Ingredients to Make This Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Recipe
Strawberry Rhubarb Filling
- Fresh Rhubarb. Depending on where you live, rhubarb season runs anywhere between April-July. If you can’t find fresh stalks of rhubarb, look for frozen rhubarb in your grocery store.
- Fresh Strawberries. Strawberries are in season longer than rhubarb; however, if you can’t find sweet, juicy fresh strawberries, opt for frozen.
- Chia Seeds. A gut-healthy favorite of mine! Chia seeds are also heart-healthy and help thicken the fresh fruit filling.
- Orange Juice. I add the juice of 1/2 of blood orange. You can swap with lemon juice if you prefer. And lemon zest or orange zest add additional flavor.
- Maple Syrup. This adds additional sweetness if you’re using extra tart fruit. Feel free to omit if you’re cutting back on sugar and using extra sweet strawberries.
Gluten-Free Crisp Topping Ingredients
- Vegan Butter. I use melted Earth Balance or Melt organic butter. Virgin coconut oil would also be tasty.
- Brown Sugar. Cane sugar, coconut sugar, or a low-calorie sweetener like allulose or monk fruit can also be used.
- Gluten-Free Oats. Don’t eat oats? Try almond flour or a half almond, half coconut flour blend.
- Gluten-Free Flours. I use sorghum flour and tapioca starch. You can also use gluten-free all purpose flour to make this easy gluten-free rhubarb crisp recipe.
How to Make Gluten Free Rhubarb Crisp
- STEP ONE. Make the strawberry rhubarb filling by combining sliced rhubarb stalks, sliced strawberries, maple syrup, orange juice, and chia seeds in a large bowl.
- STEP TWO. Melt the vegan butter in a separate bowl and add the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.
- STEP THREE. Place the fruit filling in a baking dish or individual ramekins. Spoon on rhubarb crumble topping and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes.
Serving Suggestion
This gluten-free crisp is a great recipe on its own or makes a yummy protein-packed breakfast served with Greek yogurt (or lactose-free yogurt). If you want a more decadent version, add some whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Beckon makes tasty lactose-free ice cream!
Gluten Free Rhubarb Crisp Nutrition Notes
- Gluten-free, vegan, low FODMAP, and MIND diet friendly.
- Each bowl contains one serving of fruit and is rich in fiber, vitamins C and K, lutein, and antioxidants.
- Did you know that cooked rhubarb supplies a good dose of the antioxidant lycopene, but raw rhubarb has none?
