The BEST Rhubarb Crisp Recipe Ever!
This easy rhubarb crisp recipe has the just the perfect combination of tangy rhubarb mixture with a generous, thick crisp topping. I mean it…it’s the BEST way to make rhubarb desserts!
I know everyone claims that their recipes are the BEST EVER. But, seriously, I mean it! (tee hee)
When my husband walked in the door the other day with a bag full of rhubarb we’d been gifted (it’s rhubarb season!), I knew exactly what I was making first:
Mom’s Rhubarb Crisp is my all time favorite way to use rhubarb. Her old-fashioned rhubarb recipe is such an easy one and makes a perfect queintessential Spring dessert.
I’ve tried many crisps in my day, and I still say this is the best rhubarb crisp recipe ever. Although sweet desserts involve a lot of personal preference, I find it has just the perfect balance of sweetness to the tart rhubarb, and the thick buttery oat topping makes it the best ever!
How to Make Mom’s Recipe for Rhubarb Crisp 9×13 pan

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the 5 cups of rhubarb with 3 tablespoons flour and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Pour into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
Step 2: Using a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and oatmeal. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender until the mixture looks like course oats.

I made this last night & it was definitely the recipe my Mom used to make!! My birthday falls in July, right in the middle of rhubarb season, & when I got older she would often make rhubarb pie for my birthday. Thank you for bringing back the memories of that to me. Would definitely recommend this recipe to everyone.
Added 1 top of cinnamon hope it works!
