Ready to bake a seasonal favorite with a healthier twist? Let’s get into it!
My mother, who grew up in Arkansas, always turned farm fresh produce into the best cobbler desserts ever! It was easy—just stir together sliced, seasonal, ripe fruit with a tiny bit of sweetener, and then create a tender cobbler dough to drop over the fruit filling. Just pop it into the oven, and bake until golden and bubbly. No fussing over pie crusts needed. Plus, these fruit-forward desserts were so much lighter with a simple cobbler dough. Of course, we turned all sorts of seasonal fruit—apples, peaches, blackberries—into cobblers. But my favorite of all was Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler. Rhubarb was a special treat—we grew it in our garden, and those thick stalks only came up during a small window during the year. That herbal, tart, crunchy taste of rhubarb could be tamed so well with the aromatic, sweetness of strawberries. A match made in heaven, indeed. Now that I live in Ventura County, I’m surrounded by seasonal strawberries in the spring and summer, so this recipe really hits close to my heart.
This cobbler recipe is super easy, inspired by my mother’s own dog-eared recipe card from the past, but made 100% plant-based and a bit lighter with a modern touch. The next time you find rhubarb, turn to this recipe—the all-time best way to put those crunchy stalks to good use!
