Strawberry season is here and so is the spring-time baking. This strawberry-rhubarb crumble is topped with a gluten-free, crunchy cinnamon granola made from five sugar grains.
Strawberry season is my favorite, not just because it’s finally spring but simply because of all the fresh strawberries. I have already gone picking 3 times this month and let me tell you, fresh-picked strawberries are infinitely better than anything you can get at the grocery store. These berries dissolve in your mouth like cotton candy.
In Rochester, I grew up a bike-ride away from the best U-pick farm I’ve ever seen (Green Acre Farms) and I would eat as much as I picked – I took their approval of testing them out seriously. They should have weighed me pre- and post-berry picking!
My three berry-picking adventures this season resulted in about 6 gallons of strawberries. About two went into the making of strawberry syrup and strawberry jam and the rest, well they were for whatever else I came up with and eating! If I have enough I would like to try a strawberry rhubarb cake, too.
But, the first thing I made after the syrup and jam was this strawberry-rhubarb granola crumble, with a simple granola topping. I specifically used the KIND Cinnamon Oat Cluster Granola made with gluten-free oats, brown rice, buckwheat, amaranth, millet, quinoa, and flax seeds. It was excellently crunchy and I loved the addition of cinnamon to this fruity crumble.

it looks delicious!
I have trying to hoard as much rhubarb as I can when I see it in the store. Coming up soon is a pie, crisp and coffee cake. I love this granola topped treat. Because of the fruit it is definitely breakfast right?
Now this is my kind of dessert!! I am a lover of the crumble. But, I’ve never had a crumble with rhubarb. That needs to change!
