Ingredients
  

Topping

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 2/3 cup whole wheat flour or use gluten free
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil or another substitute

Filling

  • 3 1/2 cups rhubarb cut in 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 3 1/2 cups strawberries about 1 pound, hulled and sliced if big, halved if tiny
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup instant tapioca or quick tapioca

Instructions
 

  • To make topping, combine oatmeal, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry blender (or your fingers) until it resembles sandy crumbs. Gradually drizzle in maple syrup, stirring continuously so it evenly distributes (think more like adding the butter than stirring in dry sugar).
  • Combine fruit filling ingredients in a separate bowl, then pour into 8 x 8 pan. Scatter topping over filling.
  • Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes. Filling should bubble up around pan sides when done.
  • Let sit for 30-60 minutes to allow filling to cool slightly and gel. Top with ice cream or whipped cream for a special treat.

Notes

Pure maple syrup (versus pancake syrup, which may be mostly corn syrup) is recommended. If you don’t have that, you can substitute brown sugar, increasing the butter in the topping if needed to maintain the crumb-like texture.
