• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
3. In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until crumbly.
4. Spread the strawberry-rhubarb mixture evenly in a baking dish.
5. Sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit layer, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for that perfect golden crunch.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. For that extra touch, garnish with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream, allowing it to melt gently over the top.

Helpful Tips:

• If fresh rhubarb is not available, you can use frozen rhubarb. Just make sure to thaw and drain it well.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts, like pecans or almonds, to the oat topping for an extra crunch.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend.

Storage Instructions:

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a warm oven before serving to regain the crisp topping.

Pairings:

• This dessert pairs beautifully with a hot cup of herbal tea or a cold glass of lemonade.
• Complement the meal with a simple green salad and a light main course such as grilled chicken or fish.
