If you have a bumper crop of strawberries and rhubarb, strawberry rhubarb cobbler is a great way to make the most of them.

? Ingredients

Strawberries and rhubarb

I live in Minnesota where the two main ingredients, strawberry and rhubarb, are both in season sometime in June. Of course, if you have a bumper crop of either one of these, freezing them is a great option! Frozen works just fine for this recipe. Just thaw it out first and drain off the extra liquid that may form when thawing.

It's totally fine if you don't have the exact amounts of the fruit. Just be sure to have 5 cups total. So, if you happen to have more strawberries than rhubarb or vice versa, that's fine! Make it work for you!

Flour and starch

For the fruit filling, tapioca starch is stirred into the fruit mixture to help thicken it while it bakes. You could substitute cornstarch or arrowroot starch instead of you'd like.

For the cobbler topping, gluten free flour is used. You can mix your own or use an all-purpose flour blend (I like this one). Either way, the cobbler topping will taste as good as one made with wheat flour!

I also added oatmeal to the topping. If you are very sensitive to wheat/gluten, be sure to use certified gluten free oats. I have used cornmeal instead of oats and that works, too, but I preferred oats.

Fat

Traditional cobblers have a topping that includes butter. To make this dessert allergy friendly, I chose to use cooking oil instead. I know, I know...it's not the same, right? Well, it's true you won't have that butter flavor but I don't think you'll really miss it because the sweet and tangy flavor from the fruit is the star of the show. Also, dairy and soy free margarine can be difficult to find so this is a more accessible alternative.

This dessert tastes amazing on its own but even better with a scoop of this allergy free ice cream! Enjoy!
