  • Great way to use up rhubarb – rhubarb is often paired with strawberries, however, it can be hard to have both on hand at once. By making this a rhubarb cobbler, you can use up more rhubarb than you would adding additional berries.
  • Tastes great no matter the season – we freeze rhubarb during the summer so we can eat rhubarb cobbler year round!
  • No pie dough – by making rhubarb cobbler, you do not have to make and roll out a pie crust.
