Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Bars (vegan, gluten-free)

May 17, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Being a food blogger, I get a ton of e-mails from my fellow bloggers that I read everyday.  There are so many talented bloggers out there and when I came across this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, I knew I had to make it, but I re-vamped it a little to make it more healthy, less sugar, vegan and gluten-free.  Today’s recipe is Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Bars.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp Bars (vegan, gluten-free)
These bars are amazing! Sweet, loaded with fresh strawberries and rhubarb, soft and tastes like a crisp. I absolutely love these bars. The only thing with them, is that they are very soft bars, not crispy or crunchy. They make for a perfect, low-calorie snack or even great crumbled on yogurt. I love them and I hope you love them too!

The bars are made with almond meal, gluten-free oats, brown sugar and coconut oil. Oh and they are super easy to make and are only 112 calories a bar, you can’t go wrong with those calories!  Heck eat two if you please!  I did during the photography of these bars!  he he

This is such a great snack and perfect for the kids after school. I bet they wouldn’t even know it is healthy! Plus if you’re at all inclined you could also add a small dollop of vanilla ice cream to go with it! That would taste amazing and be a perfect complement to the bars! I wish I had some left, because that is what I want to do right now!

Sorry that the pictures didn’t turn out great! I took them at the wrong time of the day! So don’t let that fool you, these bars are amazing! Just remember to keep them chilled because they become very soft, especially if it is warm out!

Have a super great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    These bars look delicious but I can’t eat almonds. Any suggestions that I can use to replace the almond meal?

      Can you have cashews? If not try ground up more oats in pace of the almond meal. I am sure that would taste just as good!

      I am not sure I haven’t tried to freeze them, however I don’t see why not? I freeze just about all of my baked goods!

    Hi. I have a gluten sensitivity and find even gluten free oats not good for me. I love rhubarb crisp and will try this recipe. However, I will substitute quinoa flakes for the oats.

      Great idea using quinoa flakes! Let me know how it turns out! 🙂

    Hello, if I don’t have almond meal, do you think ground flax seed could work in it’s place? Thank you!

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      I don’t know, because flax seed is a different texture then almond meal. I would ground up oats and use that instead.

      You may want to do some research on baking with flax. From what I understand, it’s not meant to be heated. At best, you will be destroying the benefits of the flax and at worse, I’ve read that it can be harmful.

    I have made this twice. But without cornstarch bc I don’t have any. The taste is so good but it’s no where near a bar texture. It’s delish mush. Is that bc I am missing the cornstarch?

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.
🍓
What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
