Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 2 cups sliced rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 juiced lemon
Crisp Layer
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat add the sliced strawberries, sliced rhubarb, granulated sugar, and juice of 1 lemon. Cook until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon (about 15 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl combine all purpose flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar. Mix to combine. Then add in melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand in texture.
- Add 1/2 the oats mixture to the bottom of the prepared pan and gently press the mixture into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Add the strawberry rhubarb mixture to the baked layer and spread into an even layer. Top with remaining oat mixture and bake an additional 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
