I love rhubarb, they are springtime favourite, tart and full of flavor. They taste amazing pared with sweet strawberries, like this crunchy gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp. You can also make this dessert with frozen fruit all year round. Freeze some strawberries and rhubarb while in season, to enjoy a lovely spring crumble any time of year. Just mix the frozen fruit with sugar and corn starch, top it with the crumble and bake until it’s fully cooked and golden.
These Vegan Strawberry Oatmeal Bars are also gluten-free adaptable and tastes amazing filled with sweet strawberries. Also try this Gluten-free Strawberry Almond Tart.
