What does Rhubarb taste like?
It is very sour and the texture is crunchy when raw. As it bakes, it softens and the flavor becomes slightly less tart. The tartness is similar to a green apple.
This type of fruit is generally combined with other sweet fruits or sugary ingredients to balance the sour flavor. It is absolutely delicious with sweet strawberries and makes the best cobbler recipe.

How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
- Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9X13 baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2. Mix the filling ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to bring out the juices.
Step 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract.
Step 4. Then add in the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are just combined. Be careful that you do not over mix.
Step 5. Spread the filling into the baking dish.
Step 6. Spread the batter over the top of the fruit into the baking pan.
Step 7. Bake until golden brown. It will take about 40-45 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Can you prepare in advance?
Yes, this cobbler is an easy recipe to make ahead of time. You can prepare the dish as normal and allow to cool.
I like to use a disposable pan. Allow to cool and cover with aluminum foil. Freeze up to 2 months.
Reheat in the oven until warmed through at 350 degrees. It normally takes about 15 to 20 minutes. I suggest covering with foil when reheating.
Pro Tips
- Cover with foil if needed. Oven temperatures vary and you do not want the topping to get too brown. Occasionally check and make sure it is not getting too brown. If so, cover with foil so it can finish cooking.
- Large Baking Dish. We used a 9×13 size baking dish and it was perfect. Anything smaller will make the filling and topping run over.
- Don’t overmix the topping ingredients. Combine the ingredients until just combined and do not overmix.
Are Rhubarb Plants poisonous?
The stalks are perfectly safe to eat. However, the leaves are toxic. Do not eat the leaves. Make sure that you remove and discard the leaves right away.
