Description

A delightful dessert that combines the tartness of fresh rhubarb with a sweet, buttery oat topping. Perfect for spring gatherings or cozy evenings.


Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups diced rhubarb

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ¾ cup oats

  • ½ cup melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a saucepan, combine white sugar, water, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes clear.

  3. Place the diced rhubarb in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the sugar mixture over the rhubarb, stirring to combine.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oats, melted butter, and ground cinnamon until crumbly.

  5. Evenly spread the oat topping over the rhubarb mixture.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

For a twist, consider adding strawberries to the rhubarb mixture.
