    Gluten-Free Fresh Strawberry & Rhubarb Crisp

    By Alanna Taylor-Tobin on May 25, 2012 (updated May 4, 2023) / 35 Comments

    A sturdy, crunchy streusel topping is the secret to this homemade gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp (or crumble). The fruit-to-topping ratio is spot-on, with some of each in every bite. Easy recipe, tested to perfection using just 2 gluten-free flours: sweet rice flour and oat flour.

    Add a scoop of homemade fresh ginger ice cream if you want to take this fruit crisp recipe over the top.

    This gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp has it all: crunchy streusel, jammy fruit, and melty ice cream

    Note from Alanna: I first shared this recipe in 2012, and it quickly became a reader favorite of all my homemade crisps and crumbles and rhubarb recipes! I borrowed the unique mixing method for the crumble from Marion Burros' famous plum crumble, detailed below. The crisp topping stands up beautifully to juicy baked strawberries and rhubarb. Best of all, it only uses 2 gluten-free flours: sweet rice flour and oat flour. I remade and reshot it recently, and I wouldn't change a thing.

    I originally paired this crisp with homemade fresh ginger ice cream, which adds a delightful zip. I loved this combination so much that I shared a strawberry rhubarb cobbler with ginger amaranth biscuits in my cookbook.

    If you give this fruit crisp recipe a try, I hope it becomes a favorite in your home as well!

    For more strawberry love, try this buttery gluten-free strawberry shortcake made with almond flour scones. So dreamy!

    In Search of the Best Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

    Upon tasting strawberry-rhubarb anything, it becomes evident why this fruit and veg duo are a classic pair:

    • Strawberries soften rhubarb's tart edge, and rhubarb adds tangy complexity to the sweet berries.
    • While strawberries cook down into juicy mush, rhubarb holds its shape, giving the compote body.
    • The strawberries' juices help break down the rhubarb into tender goodness, softening any tough fibers.
    • Strawberries add lovely color to rhubarb which can bake up looking drab when the stalks are tinged with green.

    Strawberries and rhubarb are truly a match made in culinary heaven!

    With these odds stacked in my favor, I thought that making a gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp worthy of sharing on TBG would be easy. It needed to be gluten-free, not overly sweet, with a well-cooked but thick filling, and with a sturdy topping that lived up to its name.

    Instead, it took me six tries to come up with this formula! Strawberries let off a lot of juice when they cook, and many gluten-free crisp toppings tend to disintegrate into a soupy mess in the face of such juicy fruit. I experimented with different methods and ratios, including pre-cooking the fruit to let off some liquid.

    I eventually turned to the aforementioned crisp topping made with an unusual mixing method and fortified with egg and leavening. When paired with thinly sliced rhubarb, larger pieces of strawberries, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken the juices, this turned out the best gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crumble I could have hoped for.

    ingredients for the crisp are arranged prettily on a gray textured backdrop
    INGREDIENTS: fresh strawberries and rhubarb, melted butter, sweet rice flour, oat flour, oats, salt, brown sugar OR coconut sugar, maple sugar OR granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, cornstarch, egg.

    Ingredients & Substitution Suggestions

    This recipe comes together with a handful of simple ingredients.

    Fruit filling

    I like using slightly more rhubarb than strawberries here. This ensures a bright, rhubarb-forward flavor with plenty of punch.

    • Rhubarb sliced fairly thinly cooks into tangy, jammy goodness. Look for rhubarb stalks that are about an inch wide and pink or red throughout the stalk. Frozen rhubarb can also be used; just extend the baking time as needed.
    • Strawberries, cut into halves or quarters, condense into a flavorful, chunky compote. You can swap in other berries if you like, such as raspberries. Frozen berries will work; just increase the bake time as needed.
    • Sugar sweetens the filling just enough. I've tested this with light brown sugar, organic granulated sugar, and coconut sugar. All work beautifully!
    • Cornstarch thickens the filling. For corn allergies, try using arrowroot flour or sweet rice flour instead.
    • A pinch of salt sharpens the flavors.

    Recipe for fruit crisp topping

    This gluten-free crisp topping uses just 2 gluten-free flours – sweet rice and oat flour.

    • Sweet rice flour's sticky, starchy texture helps the crumble clump together. Sub by weight regular white rice flour, or a gluten-free all-purpose blend such as Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1.
    • Oat flour adds earthy flavor and makes the crisp taste like an oatmeal cookie. Be sure to use oat flour that's certified gluten-free! Sub by weight sorghum flour, light buckwheat flour, or ivory teff flour.
    • Oats add chunky goodness, forming nubby clusters and adding heft. Be sure to use oats that are certified gluten-free! Sub by weight quinoa flakes or rice flakes, or try using chopped nuts such as pecans or sliced almonds instead.
    • Sugar sweetens the topping. I've tested this with organic granulated sugar and with maple sugar. The maple sugar adds lovely depth of flavor, while granulated sugar tastes more clean and classic.
    • Egg moistens the dough and makes the topping bake up like a giant oatmeal cookie with crunchy top and chewy underside where it meets the jammy fruit. My egg-free readers can make the topping from my gluten-free rhubarb crisp for an egg-free variation.
    • Butter adds richness. Use plant butter for dairy-free, or try melted coconut oil.
    • Salt sharpens the flavor while baking powder adds lift.
    • Cinnamon adds a hint of spice. Feel free to play with other spices such as ginger, cardamom, or nutmeg.

    Method: How to Make Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

    This recipe is easy and foolproof to make with just 15 minutes of active time, plus about 50 minutes to bake. It makes one 10-inch fruit crisp, serving 6-8.

    Fruit filling

    the leaf has been removed from a stalk of re rhubarb on a blue cutting board
    Trim away the rhubarb leaves, which are toxic in large quantities
    the rhubarb stalk has been sliced thinly crosswise
    Slice the rhubarb stalks crosswise 1/4-inch thick. There's no need to peel the rhubarb; it softens in the oven and adds color.
    a strawberry has been hulled with a paring knife
    Next, remove the strawberry tops using the tip of a small paring knife.
    a strawberry has been cut into quarters
    Cut smaller berries in half, and larger ones into quarters.
    filling ingredients have been placed in a bowl
    Place the prepared fruit in a large bowl.
    filling ingredients are about to be mixed in a bowl
    Add the cornstarch, brown sugar or coconut sugar (shown here), and pinch of salt.
    the fruit has been mixed with the sugar and cornstarch
    Toss together until the ingredients are combined.
    the fruit mixture has been scraped into a bowl
    Scrape the fruit into a 10-inch baking pan such as this ceramic tart pan. A 9-inch baking dish with 2-inch high sides will work too!

    Crumble topping

    an egg has been cracked into a gray speckled bowl
    To make the topping, crack the egg into a small bowl.
    the egg has been beaten until foamy
    Whisk until smooth and slightly foamy.
    the streusel ingredients have been combined in a bowl
    In a large bowl, combine the flours, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, sugar or maple sugar (shown here), and salt.
    the filling ingredients have been whisked together
    Whisk to eradicate any lumps from the oat flour or baking powder.
    beaten egg has been added to the bowl
    Drizzle the beaten egg over the flour mixture.
    the streusel has been rubbed together until clumpy
    Rub the mixture with your fingertips to form moist little clumps.
    streusel has been sprinkled over the fruit
    Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the fruit.
    butter has been drizzled over the streusel
    Drizzle the butter all over the streusel. I know it's a weird method, but it works magically!
    sugar has been sprinkled over the streusel
    Sprinkle the streusel with a little more sugar. Demerara sugar works beautifully, but regular granulated sugar is great too!
    the crisp has been baked in a scalloped white baking dish
    Bake the crisp at 375ºF until the crust is golden and the fruit juices are bubbling thickly, 45-55 minutes.
    crisp has been scooped into a bowl and topped with a scoop of ivory-colored ice cream
    Serve the crisp warm or at room temperature, preferably with ice cream. My favorites are homemade vanilla ice cream or zippy fresh ginger ice cream.

    FAQ

    Is fruit crisp gluten-free?

    Most fruit crisps use all-purpose wheat flour and are not gluten-free by default. But fruit crisp can easily be made gluten-free by swapping the wheat flour for gluten-free flours.

    How long does gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp keep for?

    Gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 or 4 days, though it's best when eaten shortly after baking.

    Can you make gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp in advance?

    Yes you can! Gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp keeps well at room temperature for up to 6 hours after baking, or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Crisp also freezes well for up to 1 month. Re-warm before serving for best results.

    butter is being drizzled over the uncooked crumble topping
    Drizzling melted butter over the crisp topping before baking gives it the most magical texture!

    Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for Everyone

    Here are some allergy-friendly adaptations for everyone to enjoy!

    Refined Sugar-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

    My original recipe used light brown sugar in the fruit and granulated sugar in the topping. I also tested a version using coconut sugar in the fruit and maple sugar in the topping (both subbed by weight.) I loved both versions, but I had a slight preference for the one made with unrefined sweeteners. The recipe is versatile, so feel free to experiment!

    a pan of crisp made with refined sugars is shown overhead
    This version uses organic granulated sugar in the fruit and topping. The fruit has a brighter color, the crumble has a finer texture, and the flavors are clean and bright.
    a pan of crisp made with unrefined sugars is shown from an angle
    This version uses coconut sugar in the fruit and maple sugar in the topping. The crumble has larger clusters, and the flavors are more complex and earthy.

    Dairy-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

    Use plant butter in the topping, or try melted coconut oil.

    Egg-Free / Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

    This recipe needs the egg in order to work. Instead, make this filling with 4 teaspoons of cornstarch, and top it with the crisp topping from my gluten-free rhubarb crisp for an egg-free option. Use plant butter in the streusel to make this recipe completely vegan.

    Paleo Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

    Make this filling with coconut sugar or maple sugar, 4 teaspoons arrowroot powder, and top it with my paleo almond flour crumble topping.

    Low-FODMAP Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

    Use sugar or maple sugar in the fruit and topping and a serving of this will be low-FODMAP. Serve with dairy-free ice cream or low-lactose ice cream.

    However you make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much in your home as we do in ours!

    Gluten-Free Fresh Strawberry & Rhubarb Crisp

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    A sturdy, crunchy streusel topping is the secret to this gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp (or crumble). Easy recipe, tested to perfection!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 50 minutes minutes
    Total: 1 hour hour 5 minutes minutes
    Servings: 6 to 8 servings

    Ingredients

    Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling:

    • ⅓ cup (75 g) lightly packed brown sugar (or ½ cup coconut sugar)
    • 2 teaspoons (6 g) cornstarch
    • pinch salt
    • 1 pound trimmed rhubarb, sliced ¼-inch thick (about 4 cups)
    • 12 ounces strawberries, hulled, quartered if large, halved if small (about 3 cups)

    Crisp Topping:

    • ½ cup (100 g) organic granulated sugar (or ½ cup + 2 tablespoons maple sugar)
    • ¾ cup (75 g) gluten-free oat flour (such as Bob's Red Mill)
    • ¼ cup (35 g) sweet rice flour (such as Koda Farms Mochiko)
    • ½ cup (50 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ⅜ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1 large egg, beaten well
    • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 teaspoon coarse sugar for sprinkling (such as demerara)

    Instructions

    • Position a rack in the center of your oven, and preheat to 375°F. Place a 10-inch round baking pan (or oven-proof skillet) on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch drips, and set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the rhubarb and strawberries, and gently toss to coat. Spread the fruit in the prepared pan and set aside.
    • In another medium bowl (or the same one, scraped fairly clean), whisk together the granulated sugar, flours, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and, using your hands, mix thoroughly, squeezing, tossing and pinching handfuls of the mixture, to produce moist little particles. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the fruit.
    • Use a spoon to drizzle the melted butter evenly all over the topping, and sprinkle evenly with the coarse sugar.
    • Place the crumble in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is deeply golden and the fruit is bubbling thickly. Cool slightly.
    • Serve the crumble warm or at room temperature (preferably with fresh ginger ice cream!).
    • The crumble will keep in the fridge for a few days. Re-warm in a 300º oven before serving.

    Notes

    Adapted from Marion Burros' Plum Crumble via The Wednesday Chef and Orangette.
    Serve this with Fresh Ginger Ice Cream, or add 2 tablespoons minced candied ginger to the fruit and serve the crisp with Vanilla, Black Pepper, or Honey Yogurt ice cream instead.
    If gluten isn't an issue for you, you can use all-purpose or whole wheat flour in place of the cornstarch, rice and oat flours. If gluten IS an issue for you or your guests, make sure that your flours and oats are certified gluten-free.
    Substitutions (best to sub by weight):
    • In place of brown sugar, sub coconut sugar
    • In place of granulated sugar, sub maple sugar
    • In place of oat flour, sub sorghum flour or teff flour
    • In place of sweet rice flour, sub a GF AP blend such as Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1

      I made this crisp for my family for our BBQ today. It was fantastic and i received many compliments on it. It had the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I didn't have an ginger or ginger ice cream on hand but I look forward to trying that next time i make this, and there WILL be a next time. Its also the best crisp topping I've ever made. I plan to hold onto this topping recipe for all of my future crisps. Thank you for sharing this!

      I made this for my family today. It was wonderful! I did use almond flour instead of oat flour (didn't have any on hand) and I cut down the butter to only 4 tbspns. It was wonderful... and just enough leftovers for me to indulge in tomorrow!! =) Thank you so much!

        That's fantastic - thanks for commenting! I'm impressed that those substitutions worked out! I'd imagine one could also substitute Earth Balance Buttery Spread for the butter, (I'd leave out the salt), or a lesser amount of melted coconut oil (maybe 6 tablespoons).

      BTW, I even used less sugar and it turned out perfect for my palate. And since it turns out my husband and son don't like rhubarb, well...

        Hi Dan, So glad you liked it! Fresh ginger creme fraiche sounds awesome. If you don't want to go gluten-free, you can always use all-purpose wheat flour in place of the oat and rice flours. :)

      AWESOME DESSERT! I've made this twice and I adapted it to make it vegan. First time I used some mashed ripe banana to replace the egg and subbed melted coconut oil for the butter. It was delicious! Second time, used banana again, but subbed a stick of Earth Balance for the butter. Again, amazing! It was crispy and decadent. Nobody would've guessed it was vegan and gluten free. A HUGE hit at both gatherings. I made it at both places "on site", since it's so easy to put together. I just brought the ingredients for the topping and the mixture to coat the fruit in a couple of ziploc containers, chopped the fruit right before assembling it and baked it while we were having lunch. Both houses smelled INCREDIBLE! Thank you, thank you for helping me get over my fear of rhubarb! I will never avoid those pink stalks at the farmer's market again :-).

      I have been enjoying your recipes so much, especially since freeing my diet from gluten (and lactose) a few months ago. I can’t wait to be back in Canada to purchase your book (I’m overseas) - and for now, I am going to marry this crisp topping with your blackberry balsamic combination for the fruit part. I also have to say that your photographs, and writing set your website apart. I mean, “the topping stood up to the bubbling fury below with aplomb...” How fantastic is that?

      This is a favorite recipe of my family's. Lost count how many times I have made it! Thank you!! Also, here's a fun twist on the recipe that I tried with some inspiration from a recipe from Food 52's site. Instead of strawberries, sub cherries. I up it to a full pound... cause why not?! Add a couple big spoonfuls of dried hibiscus. Then to the topping..add sliced almonds after mixing in the egg. Everything else is the same. We love both versions!

      Hi there!

      I'm so excited to make this for dessert tonight. Rhubarb is my favorite spring ingredient and I've been waiting to make this :) I just realized I don't have sweet rice flour on hand - only brown rice flour. I imagine they are pretty different, and I'm deciding if I should go ahead and leave it out, or use the brown rice flour as a sub. If you happen to see this and have advice, that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your amazing recipes :)

        Hi Julia! Huge rhubarb fan here too, obviously! I'm guessing brown rice flour would work fine here; the crumble might be a little more delicate since the brown rice flour is less sticky than sweet rice. Best to sub by weight if you can. Please let me know if you try it!

      I finally got rhubarb! Hurrah! If I took out the rice flour, could I add tapioca or something else? Hope you are having a sweet and peaceful Passover. I

        Yay! Yes, I would add more oat flour and a little tapioca to sub for the 1/4 cup rice flour. The recipe is pretty forgiving thanks to the egg, so just about anything should work. Please let me know if you try it!

    Gluten-Free #treslechescake (DF option) Last week Gluten-Free #treslechescake (DF option)

Last week I shared my favorite gluten-free sponge cake recipe, and here's another fun way to use it. Add an extra egg white to the batter and soak the cake with sweet milks (or coconut milks) for a gluten-free (and optionally dairy-free) riff on the beloved Latin-American sweet. 

I developed the gluteny version of this recipe during my years as a pastry chef at a Latin-American restaurant here in SF. I would bake the cake in a large hotel pan, cut out rounds to make individual cakes for plating, and promptly devour all the cake scraps. 

While I don't recommend having cake for lunch, I do recommend whipping up a tres leches cake for your next gathering. They're brilliant for parties because they can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve. 

Top slices with whipped cream (or whipped coconut cream) and fresh berries or, more traditionally, a layer of cinnamon sifted over the top. Creamy, comforting deliciousness. 

The last shot is the coconut flour tres leches cake from #alternativebakerbook topped with lime-kissed mango. So fresh!

    As blueberries come into season here in California As blueberries come into season here in California, I've been dreaming about this gluten-free blueberry coffee cake. It's moist and tender, layered with jammy fruit and an addictively salty-sweet streusel topping. 

Oat flour, sorghum flour, and sweet rice flour build a moist and flavorful cake, and almond flour in the topping helps the streusel hold together. 

It would be an ideal addition to weekend brunch or potlucks, and it takes well to variations. I've made it with rhubarb instead of berries, for instance - so good!

Here are a few things readers have said about this cake:

"Better than any gluten-full coffee cake I ever had. This recipe is a keeper. THANK YOU!!" 

"So this is the best coffee cake I’ve ever had, GF or otherwise! Another genius recipe!"

"This was such a hit last night served as a dinner dessert. People were having seconds and thirds! It was absolutely delicious, fluffy and moist and flavorful with a crunch from the pecans on top." 

"This coffee cake is so good - a light, tender crumb and with a pleasant touch of lemon. If I didn’t know it was gluten free I wouldn’t even suspect so."

    Gluten-free sponge cake is so easy to make. This a Gluten-free sponge cake is so easy to make. This airy cake can be turned into #victoriaspongecake, tiramisu, tres leches, or layered with your favorite frosting and toppings. 

This version with whipped mascarpone, berry chia jam, and fresh berries was actually our wedding cake!

A trio of flours - millet, sweet rice, and oat - give the cake a mild, neutral flavor with a moist & springy crumb. 

The cake layers are naturally dairy-free and can be sweetened with maple syrup instead of sugar if you prefer.

    If you liked the gluten-free scones that I shared If you liked the gluten-free scones that I shared recently, you're going to love these gluten-free strawberry #shortcakes! 🍓

Tender almond flour biscuits (adapted from the scone recipe) are smothered with billows of whipped cream (shown here with culinayogurt for an easy DF option) and juicy strawberries. They're buttery, creamy, bright-tasting, and not too sweet.

Shortcakes make an ideal dessert for spring gatherings because the components can all be prepared ahead and assembled when you're ready to serve up dessert. 

Feel free to play around with different berries. Add other flavors to the biscuits (I especially love the lemon ginger variation from the scone recipe here). Or add a splash of liqueur to the fruit.
