Hey spring, hey! I’m beyond excited that the days have not only started to get longer and warm up but also that fruit has started to pop up at the market again!

Towards the end of winter, I always start to get these daydreams about spending every spring day outside in the garden or strolling our streets with my pup, Tuko. But, if we are being honest, spring usually ends up being filled with so many rainy days that we still do spend a lot of that season indoors. Luckily for us, we’ve got baking (and rhubarb!)! Got a rainy weekend on your hands? No problem! Open your kitchen windows to let the sound of the rain pour in and crank up your oven because it’s baking time!

In years past, I’ve tackled cakes, pies, and cocktails so this year I decided it was time to make a crumble (pretty sure this could be the first crumble on the site? Wooooah to that!). But, because I can’t ever just keep anything simple, I decided to make it a gluten-free crumble because why not? I get asked about gluten-free recipes all the time and this one felt like such a no brainer! Why you ask? Bob’s Red Mills has SO many really great gluten-free baking ingredients that are easily accessible at most groceries or online. If you are not used to baking with gluten-free ingredients, the trick to making this crumble gluten-free really is just to make sure that you use gluten-free oats (I used these ones from Bob’s Red Mills) and an all-purpose gluten-free flour (I used this one). Viola! It’ll still be gooey and fruity and oh so delicious!

For this crisp (or crumble – as some people like to call it), I used a higher ratio of strawberries to rhubarb than a lot recipes because I wanted to be able to add less sugar. I’d recommend giving your strawberries a taste before baking to see how sweet or tart they are – if they aren’t super sweet, you may want to consider adding another 1/4 cup or so of sugar.

Finally, you are welcome to enjoy this however you want but can I please suggest you top it (while it’s still very warm and gooey) with ice cream? I promise you will not be disappointed.
