Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, washed and chopped
  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 3/4 cup natural granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: Wash and chop strawberries and rhubarb into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the fruit with natural granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon (natural), all-purpose flour, and natural gelling agent. Gently toss to coat evenly, allowing the fruit to release some juice without becoming soggy.
  2. Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, natural granulated sugar, and cinnamon (natural). Cut in the cold plant-based butter using fingers or a fork until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs that provide a crunchy, buttery texture.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the fruit filling into a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the fruit. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling at the edges.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the crisp to cool slightly to let the natural gelling agent set the filling. Serve warm with a scoop of plant-based ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for a cozy, delicious treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm strawberries and crisp rhubarb for best texture and flavor.
  • Distribute the crumb topping evenly to achieve a perfect crisp.
  • Accurately measure natural gelling agent to keep the filling juicy but not watery.
  • Do not skip lemon juice as it brightens flavors and helps caramelize the topping.
  • Let the crisp cool before serving to ensure the filling is properly set and easier to plate.
