Strawberries and rhubarb. It’s a classic combination of sweet and sour with just the right amount of tang. I love this combination, especially around the end of August when local strawberries are in abundance and fresh rhubarb is growing.
This healthy strawberry rhubarb crisp is (of course) a healthier version of a classic crisp. It’s made with whole grains, is refined-sugar free, and even has the addition of chia seeds in the filling! You can also modify the filling with any fresh local fruits you have on hand. (Toss in some blackberries, or blueberries!)
A healthy strawberry rhubarb crisp makes the perfect summer dessert that is easy, healthy, and delicious! Serve it up on it’s own, with ice cream, or a dollop of your favourite yogurt.

Thanks Alethea! It’s very simple to make and can be put together in 10 minutes! It’s great because you can do it in a skillet, a baking pan, or even individual ramekins ! Hope you enjoy! xx
Wow, looking for a good rhubarb recipe too, do you think this would work raw?
Hi Dee!
Rhubarb is such a great ingredient to work with! I wouldn’t be sure if this would work raw, I personally love the taste of cooked rhubarb as it breaks down so it becomes less tough!
