It’s Rhubarb season again!  I love when I can find fresh rhubarb in the markets, or even better when I can harvest from my own plant!  Living in the city, I used to think we couldn’t have a rhubarb plant, but that’s just silly.  Even though we don’t have a traditional garden, I can still grow rhubarb.  In fact, last summer I planted rhubarb in a large deck pot, and much to my surprise it came up again this year, bigger and better than ever!  So I’m happily baking away with it.

I often pair rhubarb with strawberries in pies, jam, tarts, muffins and cakes, but this time I wanted a rhubarb only dessert.  Just the sweet and tart flavour goodness of rhubarb, not masked by any berries or anything else.  So I made this Rhubarb Crisp, and it was exactly what I hoped for.  The sweet crunch oat crumble layer on top of a sweet, tart rhubarb filling.  SO delicious.

This is a perfect dessert for any day of the week, and it’s also a great option for when you have friends or family over for dinner.  It’s simple to make, and is a crowd pleaser!  I hope you enjoy it!  Serve with vanilla ice cream.
