Say Hello to Your New Favorite Spring Dessert

If you’ve never made a homemade rhubarb crisp, you’re in for a treat—literally. There’s just something unbeatable about that buttery, crumbly topping hugging tender, sweet-tart rhubarb. It’s tangy, golden, and melts-in-your-mouth delicious. Store-bought? Please. They can’t touch that warm-from-the-oven aroma or that crispy-sweet goodness.

This recipe is as easy as pie (actually, easier—no crust stress here). You probably have most of what you need hanging out in your pantry already. Five minutes of prep, and boom—rhubarb magic in your oven. Crisp-y business? Absolutely. 😉

Let’s not forget how versatile rhubarb is—it’s a bold little veggie that plays well with berries, apples, even a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

While we’re at it, if you’re loving tangy-sweet vibes, you might want to check out my quick strawberry compote next. It’s perfect for spooning over yogurt, pancakes, or—yup—this crisp!

Ready? Let’s make your kitchen smell like comfort and taste like spring!
