Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking dish, measuring cups, and mixing bowls.
  2. Wash and trim the rhubarb, slicing into 1-inch pieces. Toss with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir in melted butter until it clumps.
  4. Pour the rhubarb mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over without packing it down.
  5. Bake for about 45 minutes until bubbly and topping is golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  6. Let cool for around 10 minutes before serving warm, possibly topped with ice cream.
