Rhubarb Flan - vegan & gluten-free

Wives are a big part of my childhood. My mother made these very often because our garden always had large quantities of rhubarb, apricots or apples at once.

These traditional tarts are made largely from animal products such as eggs, milk and butter. AND of course a larger portion of granulated sugar.

The recipe I created has none of that and is also gluten-free. And of course just as tasty as my mother's recipe (please don't tell her, ok?😜 ).

I made this tart with rhubarb. But of course you can use all sorts of fillings such as apples, cherries, berries or apricots.

Tip: If you have a little too much dough, just make little cakes out of it. In an emergency, you can also fill these with frozen berries or similar.
