Equipment
- 9-inch square baking dish
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 pound strawberries Fresh, juicy strawberries are key to a sweet flavor.
- 1 pound rhubarb Look for vibrant, firm stalks for the best tartness.
- ⅓ to ½ cup honey Adjust sweetness to your taste; maple syrup is a great substitute!
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch or cornstarch This thickens the filling and gives it a lovely texture.
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or orange juice Adds brightness and balances the sweetness.
For the Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats Provides a hearty, chewy base that contrasts nicely with the filling.
- ½ cup packed almond flour Adds a nutty flavor and helps bind the topping.
- ⅓ cup lightly packed coconut sugar or brown sugar Gives a caramel-like sweetness and depth.
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt Enhances overall flavors; don't skip it!
- 4 tablespoons butter Melted butter makes the topping golden and crispy.
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt Adds moisture and richness; feel free to use dairy-free yogurt if preferred.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a 9-inch square baking dish, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, honey, arrowroot starch, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are blended.
- Mix the topping in a medium bowl by stirring together the oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and yogurt, then stir until everything is moistened and blended perfectly.
- Dollop the oat mixture over the fruit filling. Use your fingers to gently break it up, ensuring it’s evenly distributed across the top for that delicious crunchy texture.
- Bake the crisp for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling bubbles joyfully around the edges and the topping is lightly golden brown. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before diving in!
Notes
Serve warm, à la mode, or with a dollop of yogurt for an indulgent treat. Fresh ingredients are key for the best taste.
