Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

I scored some beautiful Rhubarb at the Harrisville farmers market and rushed home to make a desert.  I originally wanted to make a pie but it was too hot to slave over a crust so I looked on-line and found this recipe.  I switched out regular butter with soy butter and used agave vs. honey.

1            lb. rhubarb stalks  (about 5 or 6) cut into 1” pieces

1/2         orange, zested and juiced

1            tablespoon cornstarch

1/4         cup agave

1            cup Quaker quick oats

1/2         cup light brown sugar, not packed

1/2         teaspoon cinnamon

1/4         cup soy butter, melted

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Combine strawberries and rhubarb in an oven safe dish.

Mix remaining ingredients for the topping in a medium bowl then spread over fruit.

Bake until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
