As much as I love a good rhubarb pie, sometimes (well, most of the time!) I don’t have time to make one. Enter this delicious and incredibly fast rhubarb crisp recipe! It has all of the tart and sweet goodness of a pie, but it’s really quick to prepare. If you have an abundance of rhubarb in the garden like I do, this makes for a really great last-minute dessert that will wow your guests (or kids)!

The base of this rhubarb crisp highlights the tartness of the rhubarb. There’s only a bit of sugar mixed in to give the dish a bit of sweetness.
The crumb topping is a great blend of brown sugar, oats, flour and butter. I like to crumble the ingredients together with my hand for the best texture.
