Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

 I wanted something easy to make and I could use fruit from my garden. So I decided would Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp. I thought this was nice in the summer too.

What you need:

2 cups of fresh Rhubarb cup in 3/4'' pieces

2 cups organic strawberries cut in half

1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 cup of vegan butter

1 tablespoon orange-juice

3/4 Cup all-purpose unbleached flour

1/2 Cup organic rolled oats (not quick-cooking)

1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed  down

1/2 cup chopped nuts- pecans, walnuts, or almonds


How to:


1. Combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch and orange juice in a bowl.

2. Stir together the flour, oats and nuts in a separate bowl then add the buttery spread and combine well with a fork, pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture forms clumps.

3. Pour the fruit mixture into an ungreased baking dish and top with the nut mixture.

4. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 30 – 35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
