Easy Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Recipe

Have you ever tasted the strawberry rhubarb flavor combination before? Once you do you'll instantly fall in love! It's reminiscent of a strawberry lemon combo but with more uniqueness and depth to it.

My favorite way to eat rhubarb is baked into a dessert, paired with fresh strawberries of course. There are so many things I want to try with this combination like a strawberry rhubarb compote for angel food cake, a strawberry rhubarb crumb cake, or combining the two together for a syrup to serve over buttermilk pancakes.

Someday I'll get there, but for now it's all about this truly delicious strawberry rhubarb crisp.

This strawberry rhubarb crisp is deliciously saucy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the contrast in textures is spot on. You get a tender and juicy fresh fruit filling blanketed with a crispy oat crumble highlighted with butter and sweet brown sugar notes.

This fruit crisp is a must try spring and summer dessert recipe! Just don't forget the ice cream, because it's the ultimate finishing touch for this.

Old Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies https://www.cookingclassy.com/old-fashioned-iced-oatmeal-cookies/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/old-fashioned-iced-oatmeal-cookies/#comments Sun, 03 Dec 2023 09:03:45 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=6626 Iced Oatmeal Cookies - Warmly spiced, chewy, oaty cookies covered with a sweet icing to finish. They're an absolute treat and these nostalgic cookies will likely remind you of the old fashioned cookies from childhood.

Tempting Oatmeal Cookies Cookies with Icing

These are a cookie people won't forget! Like Mother's Iced Oatmeal Cookies but a far better homemade version.

They have a deliciously oaty flavor, a tempting texture, a fair amount of those inviting warm spices, and the crisp icing that finish over the top that makes a crowning highlight.

The soft and chewy texture of these frosted oatmeal cookies comes from brown sugar and partially ground oats, it's key to these delectable, homestyle cookies.

These iced oatmeal cookies can be baked up more chewy or more crisp, whichever you prefer. If you'd like them to be more soft and chewy, then bake them near the lesser amount of time, and for a crispier cookie bake them for the greater amount of time.

Multigrain Porridge https://www.cookingclassy.com/porridge/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/porridge/#comments Mon, 07 Mar 2022 06:07:26 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=63685 Comforting Multigrain Porridge - such a delicious breakfast made with three types of nutritious whole grains. It's very hearty and filling, it has a soft yet chewy texture, and whole grain nutty flavor.

Multigrain porridge made with steel cut oats, farro and amaranth. It is shown served with fresh blueberries, sliced almond and maple syrup.

What is Porridge?

Porridge is a soft food with a creamy or mushy consistency that's typically served warm. It is made by boiling together any chopped or crushed grain or starchy plants with a liquid such as milk or water.

The most common versions (at least here in the U.S) are served for breakfast but different variations are served for other meals.

Porridge is ancient dish that has been around for thousands of years and has been a cheap and comforting dish that has fed many civilizations.

There are many variations, a few of the most well known types are made using rice, cornmeal, oats, and wheat.

I have tried several different grain blends for porridge and this was my favorite blend including the steel cut oats, farro and amaranth.

I think you'll love this version of porridge too! It's something the whole family can enjoy (even my kids love it!).

My Favorite Green Smoothie Recipe https://www.cookingclassy.com/green-smoothie-recipe/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/green-smoothie-recipe/#comments Fri, 16 Aug 2019 23:16:55 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=46923 My favorite Green Smoothie recipe! It tastes like a dessert yet it's healthy! It's packed with nutritious fresh spinach, hearty oats, sweet berries and banana, and rich almonds - plus a few secret ingredients you wouldn't find in your typical green smoothie that really make it shine. You'll instantly be hooked!

The Tastiest Green Smoothie!

The great thing about this healthy smoothie is that there's no spinach flavor. You wouldn't believe how the fruit hides the flavor of the spinach even though there's a hefty 2 1/2 packed cups of it.

Even my kids love this smoothie! My daughter says it tastes like pie. And I love that it's a breakfast or midday snack I feel great about feeding them. No artificial flavors or colors, and it's not a bunch of empty carbs (like some of those sugary cereals they like). Plus it keeps us full until lunch.

We call it the Grinch smoothie because even if a food doesn't look so appealing to kids if you give it a fun name it can make all the difference.

Sometimes it comes out with a prettier green than others (who knows it must be the batch of spinach and berries) but every time we love it just the same. I always look forward to breakfast when I know I've got everything stocked to make this! I've been hooked on it all summer.

It's quick and easy, perfectly filling and satisfying, and just perfectly delicious! Who knew healthy could taste so good?

The Best Peanut Butter Bars!

These are one of my favorite all time favorite childhood treats. My mom and everyone else I know always made them. They're just one of those old fashioned classics!

They are perfect for parties because they make a full cookie sheet, and adults and children alike absolutely love them.

I mean, who doesn’t love the chocolate and peanut butter combo, and who doesn’t love cookie bars and frosting?

I made them yesterday and it’s one of those things where I kept going back and cutting off a thin slice, then another, then another and then I woke up for breakfast at it was the first thing I just had to have a taste of.

They really are one of the most tempting desserts you’ll ever make! Try them and you’ll see what I mean.

Granola {Without Oil} https://www.cookingclassy.com/granola-without-oil/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/granola-without-oil/#comments Sat, 26 Jan 2019 13:32:15 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=4088 Granola made without any oil or butter! This easy granola is likely to become your go-to recipe! It's made with simple pantry staples, it's perfectly crisp and crunchy and it has such an irresistible flavor. It's great for breakfast or an on the-go snack.

Homemade granola served in small glass cups with yogurt and blueberries.

DIY Granola - Without Added Oil or Butter!

I've always loved granola and all the different varieties you can have but I prefer not to have all the added calories of the excess oil you usually find with it. After trying this recipe you'll see the oil isn't really even needed.

I've been using this recipe for 6 years! It used to have dried fruit in it as well (which you can definitely still add) but I just prefer it without.

It's a breeze to make and it keeps well for weeks (if it will last that long).

Everyone in my family loves this granola and I love that it doesn't take much prep work and it's made with ingredients I always have on hand.

Easy No Bake Cookies

I've been making no bake oatmeal cookies for as long as I can remember. It's one of the first things I learned how to make as a kid, I'd make them for my family on the weekends because my mom didn't care much for dessert (be sure to supervise kids when making these though!).

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Flavors
