🍓 Gluten-Free Rhubarb Crisp
There’s something deeply nostalgic about a warm fruit crisp—especially when it’s tart, tangy rhubarb bubbling beneath a golden, buttery crumble. But most recipes are loaded with flour, sugar, and heavy fats that weigh you down instead of lifting you up. This version keeps it simple and light, using just a few nourishing ingredients: sprouted oats, rice flour, honey, and a touch of butter. It’s gluten-free, low-fat, and easy to digest—perfect for a spring or summer treat that won’t derail your metabolic goals. Whether you're deep in a refeed, easing out of a cut, or just craving something sweet without the junk, this crisp delivers comfort and function in every bite.
