Foodie Friday: GF Rhubarb Crisp

It's rhubarb season! I love rhubarb. It's one of those foods that I think of as sort of unexpectedly delicious. You know, those funny-looking foods that first glance you might think, "You want me to eat that?!" and then they turn out to be irresistibly tasty? That's how I feel about rhubarb. Plus, I love making fruity desserts, and they seem to be very easy to make gluten-free.

My mother-in-law made a version of this dish for us when she was visiting recently, and once it had all been eaten, I just had to make it again! Fortunately, I got a huge amount of giant rhubarb in our most recent bulk foods delivery, so I was able to make it right away. (I based this recipe on one I found on cooks.com, which I'm now unable to find. I used quite a bit less sugar in my version.)

You will need:

(for the filling)
4 cups rhubarb, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
½ cup cream
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla (I used the vanilla extract I made at home.)
4 Tablespoons tapioca flour

(for the topping)
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup GF all-purpose flour
½ cup GF rolled oats
½ cup butter (or equivalent butter substitute), melted

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix all of the filling ingredients together (rhubarb, eggs, cream, sugars, salt, vanilla, and tapioca flour). Stir gently until the rhubarb is coated with the liquid mixture.
  • Pour into an oiled 9X11" baking dish:
  • In another bowl, mix the topping ingredients together (brown sugar, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and butter) until mixed thoroughly:
  • Crumble the oat topping mixture on top of the rhubarb.
  • Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until the top has started to brown:
  • Serve warm. (Maybe even with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!)
What's your favorite way to eat rhubarb? I'd like to know!

  2. Hi Amy, Love your blog. Do you ever do book reviews? I found you through another blogger. My new book Arms Wide Open: A Midwife's Journey just came out. If you have time to do a review on your blog I can ask the publisher for a copy. The book is a memoir about my journey as a midwife in the 1970s living on rural communes, battling nature, fighting the war in Vietnam. At the end it fast forwards to now as i work in a women's health center with my husband an OB/ Gyn. Its about love, survival, family, motherhood and hope. Let me know, and keep up the good writing.
