25 Delicious Vegan Rhubarb Recipes for Spring and Summer

Introduction

Not too long after spring hits, it’s rhubarb season in Iowa, and rhubarb tastes so good in baked goods. Depending on the person and the definition, rhubarb can be considered a fruit or a vegetable. Just remember only to eat the stalks because rhubarb leaves aren’t safe to eat.

If you have a bunch of rhubarb in your garden or from the store, make these 25 vegan rhubarb recipes today, including but not limited to the following.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
White Chocolate Rhubarb Ice Cream
Strawberry Rhubarb Pop-Tarts
Rhubarb Dark Chocolate Parfaits
Strawberry Rhubarb Popsicles

1. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

The most common flavor combo you’ll find with rhubarb is strawberry rhubarb. Make this vegan strawberry rhubarb pie from From My Bowl.

🥧

Side note: the pie recipe was also included in my blog post on vegan pies.

2. White Chocolate Rhubarb Ice Cream

The warmer it gets outside, the better we are at making excuses to have some ice cream. Here’s a vegan rhubarb ice cream recipe from Apt. 2B Baking Co.

🍦

I recommend these dairy-free ice cream recipes and my vegan ice cream guide.

3. Strawberry Rhubarb Pop-Tarts

We didn’t have Pop-Tarts around much growing up unless we were on vacation or staying with a relative, but they still give me nostalgia for my childhood. Try some vegan strawberry rhubarb Pop-Tarts from Minimalist Baker.

4. Rhubarb Dark Chocolate Parfaits

I associate parfaits with McDonald’s because that’s the only time I remember seeing or having any. Make yourself a rhubarb rose dark chocolate parfait from Eat Love Eat.

5. Strawberry Rhubarb Coconut Milk Popsicles

Another good cold treat to have on a warm day is a popsicle. Have some strawberry rhubarb coconut milk popsicles from Veggie Inspired.

This recipe was also in my vegan popsicle blog post.

6. Rhubarb Brownies

Brownies are super easy and take less than an hour to make. Bake a batch of vegan rhubarb brownies from Closed Loop Cooking.

7. Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

I’ve never had a scone before, but I have heard they are best served with afternoon tea. Try some strawberry rhubarb oatmeal scones from Athletic Avocado.
