Print Recipe

A warm and comforting rhubarb crisp topped with a buttery oat streusel and served with salted caramel ice cream, balancing tart and sweet flavors with a crunchy and creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (dark brown sugar preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • Salted caramel ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until every piece is coated. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Spread the rhubarb filling evenly in an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the oat streusel topping generously over the rhubarb filling.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Let the crisp rest for about 10 minutes to thicken the filling.
  8. Serve warm with a generous scoop of salted caramel ice cream on top.

Notes

Use cold butter for the streusel to keep it crumbly. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Chop rhubarb into 1-inch pieces for even cooking. You can prep the filling ahead and refrigerate. For gluten-free, substitute flours accordingly. Adding chopped nuts to streusel adds crunch. Serve warm with salted caramel ice cream for best flavor contrast.
