Ingredients
  

For the Topping
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats Quick oats can be used but yield a powdery texture.
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar Granulated sugar can replace it for a less rich flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Coconut sugar can be used for a lower glycemic option.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Leave it out or substitute with nutmeg for a different spice profile.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Sea salt can work as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Sliced Almonds (optional) Swap with pecans or walnuts if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Replace with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Fruit Filling
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Flour can be used as a substitute, but the texture may vary.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (for filling) Brown sugar gives a caramel-like flavor if used instead.
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Juice Substitute with lemon juice for a more tart flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract can be substituted for a nutty twist.
  • 4 cups Fresh Strawberries Use frozen strawberries if needed, just ensure excess liquid is drained.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, granulated sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until well-blended, then add in the sliced strawberries and rhubarb.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and sliced almonds. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until crumbly.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the fruit filling in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the topping is golden-brown and the fruit bubbles.
  6. Let the crisp cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving warm.
