    Gluten Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

    If you are looking for the perfect spring dessert to make with fresh rhubarb, this gluten free strawberry rhubarb crumble is exactly what you need. Tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries get tossed with sugar and lemon juice and topped with the most buttery and golden oat crumble made with brown rice flour, brown sugar, and toasted pecans. The combination of the jammy bubbling fruit and the crispy crumble topping is absolutely irresistible and the whole thing is ready in just 45 minutes.

    It is completely gluten free from start to finish and one of those desserts that disappears fast every single time.

    a white 9x13 baking dish of gluten free strawberry rhubarb crumble next to stalks of fresh rhubarb and a small bowl of fresh strawberries.

    What makes this gluten free strawberry rhubarb crumble so special is the toasted pecan topping. Taking a few extra minutes to toast the pecans before adding them to the crumble mixture brings out a deep nutty flavor that takes this dessert completely over the top.

    Serve it warm straight from the oven with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have one of the best spring desserts you will ever eat.

    And because rhubarb freezes beautifully you can make this crumble well beyond rhubarb season by freezing your rhubarb at peak freshness and pulling it out whenever the craving hits.

    Don't forget to save this recipe to your Pinterest boards so you can find it again all rhubarb season long!

    Storage

    Store leftover gluten free strawberry rhubarb crumble covered tightly or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. The crumble topping will soften slightly as it sits but the flavor gets even better the next day as the fruit and topping meld together. To reheat individual portions warm in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds or reheat the whole dish covered with foil in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes until warmed through.

    For the best texture uncover the dish for the last 5 minutes of reheating to help crisp up the topping again. While you can freeze this crumble the oat topping tends to get soft and the fruit can become watery once thawed so it is best enjoyed fresh within the first few days of baking.

    Top Tip

    Do not skip toasting the pecans before adding them to the crumble topping. It only takes about 10 minutes on medium low heat in a skillet and it makes a significant difference in the final flavor of the crumble. Raw pecans have a mild flavor that can get lost under the sweetness of the brown sugar and butter. Toasted pecans develop a deep rich nuttiness that adds a whole extra layer of flavor to every bite of the crumble topping.

    You will know they are ready when they start to smell fragrant and turn a light golden brown. Watch them carefully as they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt very quickly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a crumble and a crisp?

    A crumble and a crisp are very similar and the terms are often used interchangeably but there is a subtle difference. A crisp typically contains oats in the topping which gives it a crunchier texture. A crumble traditionally uses just flour, butter, and sugar without oats for a sandier more streusel like topping. This recipe falls somewhere in between since it uses both oats and brown rice flour in the topping giving you the best of both worlds with a topping that is buttery, crumbly, and slightly crispy all at the same time.

    Can I use frozen strawberries and rhubarb instead of fresh?

    Yes! Since rhubarb has a short season frozen fruit is a great option for making this crumble year round. Thaw the rhubarb and strawberries completely before using and drain off any excess liquid before mixing them with the sugar and arrowroot powder. Too much extra liquid from frozen fruit can make the filling too runny. I like to freeze my rhubarb at the end of rhubarb season in the exact measurements needed for this recipe so it is easy to pull out and use whenever the craving hits.

    Can I substitute a different nut for the pecans?

    Absolutely! Walnuts and almonds both work beautifully in this crumble topping as a substitute for pecans. Walnuts give you a slightly more bitter and earthy flavor while almonds are milder and a little sweeter. You can also leave the nuts out entirely if you need a nut free version. The crumble topping will still be delicious without them but the toasted pecans do add a wonderful depth of flavor that is worth keeping if you can.

    Can I make this crumble ahead of time?

    Yes! You can assemble the entire crumble up to 24 hours ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator before baking. When you are ready to bake simply pull it from the fridge while the oven preheats and add 5 to 10 minutes to the bake time since it will be going in cold. You can also bake it completely ahead of time and reheat it before serving. The flavor is actually wonderful the next day after everything has had time to meld together.

    What can I serve with gluten free strawberry rhubarb crumble?

    This crumble is absolutely incredible served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream which melts slightly into the hot fruit and creates the most delicious combination. Fresh whipped cream is another wonderful option for a slightly lighter topping. You can also serve it with a drizzle of heavy cream poured straight over the top for a classic and simple presentation. Any way you serve it this crumble is a showstopper.

    Can I make this recipe with just rhubarb and no strawberries?

    Yes you can make a rhubarb only version of this crumble but keep in mind that rhubarb is very tart on its own so you will want to increase the granulated sugar in the fruit filling to compensate for the missing sweetness of the strawberries. Start by adding an extra two to three tablespoons of sugar and taste the mixture before baking to make sure it is sweet enough for your preference. The crumble topping stays exactly the same.

    Gluten Free Lemon Curd

    This lemon curd is a classic, easy dessert recipe that delivers bright citrus flavor with a smooth, creamy texture. Made with simple techniques and cooked gently on the stovetop, it comes together quickly and feels both timeless and indulgent.

    The result is a thick, silky lemon curd that balances sweet and tangy perfectly, making it one of the best easy lemon curd recipes to master at home.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is lemon curd made from?

    Gluten free lemon curd is simply eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter. I like to use farm fresh eggs to get a deeper color, but any eggs will work.

    How do you make lemon curd?

    You whisk together the eggs and sugar and then add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix these ingredients together in your metal mixer bowl.

    Then place your mixing bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the mixture until it begins to thicken. Then add the butter in a small cube at a time. Continue stirring until the butter is all melted and you have a creamy mixture.

    How long will lemon curd keep?

    It will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a little over a week. If you find you need to use up your lemon curd it is great on toast, pancakes or waffles. It's also a great filling for thumbprint cookies.

    Can I freeze lemon curd?

    Yes! You can freeze gluten free lemon curd for up to one year in a freezer safe container. When you want to thaw it remove it from the freezer and place in your refrigerator to thaw.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The cake will be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Let set for 10-15 minutes and then turn the cake out of the pan onto your cake stand or cooling rack.

    After the cake has cooled for at least two hours mix together the glaze and pour evenly over the cake.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I add orange flavor to the cake?

    To get the best pop of orange flavor it's best to use fresh orange zest and fresh orange juice. You can use two large oranges to get the two teaspoons of zest and half cup of juice that you need.

    This is a great way to use up the last oranges in your fruit bowl. Even if they are starting to get too ripe they will work perfect for this recipe and give a sweet citrus flavor.

    How long should a bundt cake cool before glazing?

    It is best to let your gluten free orange bundt cake cool completely before adding the glaze. I like to let mine set for at least two hours.

    I prefer to make the cake the day before I need it and glaze it the next day before serving or guests arrive. This lets the cake cool completely and allows the glaze to be fresh.

    How can I enhance the orange flavor?

    If you are using orange juice from a carton and/or dried zest you could also add ½ teaspoon of orange extract or orange oil to enhance the orange flavor.
    There is nothing wrong with using juice from a carton or dried zest.

    Sometimes that's all I have access to depending on the season. However, the orange flavor won't be as strong, so adding the orange oil will enhance your cake.

    Description

    This recipe for gluten free orange bundt cake is easy to make from scratch. This moist cake is citrus infused and delicious. I used a simple, homemade glaze to top it off. 


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • ¾ cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
    • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
    • 3 large Eggs
    • 1 cup Sour Cream
    • ⅓ cup Orange Juice
    • ½ cup Milk
    • 2 Tbsp. Orange Zest or Dried Orange Peel
    • 3 cups Gluten Free Flour
    • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
    • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
    • ½ tsp. Sea Salt

    Icing:

    • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
    • 1 tsp. Orange Extract or Orange Oil
    • 1-2 Tbsp. Milk

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

    Grease a bundt pan with butter or coconut oil. Set aside.

    In a mixing bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

    In the bowl of your stand mixer beat together the butter, sugar and orange zest until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, sour cream, milk and orange juice. Beat together just until combined.

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat together until blended and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. 

    Pour the batter into your greased bundt pan.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The cake will be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Let set for 10-15 minutes and then turn the cake out of the pan onto your cake stand or cooling rack.

    After the cake has cooled for at least two hours mix together the glaze and pour evenly over the cake. 

    Notes

    For the cake if you are using dried orange zest and/or orange juice from a carton also add ½ tsp. orange flavoring to the cake batter.

    Top Tip

    This cake is a great way to use up those last two oranges that are in your fruit bowl. Fresh orange zest and fresh squeezed orange juice make this cakes flavor pop! If you only have orange juice in a carton and dried zest that will work too.

    This is a great recipe to use with a smaller individual bundt cake pan too. The individual little cakes look so pretty served with the glaze at a gathering or on a dessert table.
