Rhubarb Cobbler

Yes, my new love for rhubarb desserts this summer continues! In addition to Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and Rhubarb Chocolate Chip Muffins, this rhubarb cobbler is an amazing way to showcase tart rhubarb in a dessert.


I think I love rhubarb desserts for the same reason that I love lemon desserts so much.  There is something about that tart and sweet flavour combination that is so refreshing and satisfying at the same time.

The recipe for this cobbler is from The Pioneer Woman.  This is a fantastic dessert (or quite often at my house: Breakfast!) and a great way to use up that rhubarb that is still taking over your garden.


This is a very sweet dessert so it is awesome when served with some lightly sweetened fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.  I think next time I might add a bit more rhubarb to balance it out.

The recipe fills one large baking dish, or two pie plates (perfect for sharing!).
