Rhubarb Bars for the Herbivore
[u]Crust[/u]:
1 cup flour
5 tablespoons vegan powdered sugar
1/2 cup vegan margarine (I use Nucoa) [u]Rhubarb Topping[/u]:
2 egg equivalents, prepared
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 cups rhubarb, chopped*
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Crust: In a bowl, combine crust ingredients; mix until crumbly. Transfer to a 7" x 11" pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
3. Topping: In a bowl, combine rhubarb topping ingredients; mix until thoroughly combined.
4. After the crust has baked for 15 minutes, pour topping mixture over hot crust and spread evenly.
5. Bake for another 35 minutes. Enjoy
* I personally like to cut up our rhubarb nice and fine but my gf likes it cut traditionally (usually stringy chunks).

SO HOW'D IT GO?
I love this idea, but changed things slightly, as I always do, for family tastes & nutrition... I used a bit less sugar, flax meal beaten with warm water for the egg replacement, and some leftover crumble to top off the "cake" or "bar." With finely chopped rhubard, apples & strawberries, it is a dish fit for a king.
I just made this recipe for my food blog, it's pretty good. A nice change from a big heavy dessert. Would have never thought of using just rhubarb in a dessert. http://samsvegan.blogspot.com/2011/08/rhubarb-bars.html
