How to Make Rhubarb Pancake Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the bottom layer ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined. Gently fold in 4 cups chopped rhubarb.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb layer.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter over the crumble topping.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm, topped with homemade strawberry ice cream (recipe not included).
