Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 3 cups Chopped Rhubarb Fresh or frozen works perfectly
  • 2 cups Halved Strawberries Feel free to substitute with any berry of your choice
  • 1 cup Sugar You can opt for Stevia as a lower-sugar alternative
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Arrowroot or tapioca starch can also be used
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Essential for balancing out the sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional but recommended for added depth
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter Substitute with vegan butter for a dairy-free version
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free treat
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can be replaced with a gluten-free flour blend if needed
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Coconut sugar can be a suitable substitute
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors beautifully
  • Optional Spices Including cinnamon and ground cloves can add lovely warmth to the topping

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch casserole dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and halved strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until well coated, then let it sit.
  3. Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes. In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and any optional spices. Blend in the butter until resembling coarse crumbs.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the fruit filling in the casserole dish, covering the fruit thoroughly.
  5. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, watching for a golden brown topping and bubbling filling; it’s ready when the top is golden and crispy.
  6. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
