🍓 Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble (A Sweet and Healthy Breakfast Treat)!

Hi friends!
If you’ve never tried rhubarb and strawberry crumble before, you’re in for a real treat. This recipe is warm, fruity, just the right amount of sweet, and secretly healthy too! It’s the kind of dish that tastes like dessert but is made with good-for-you ingredients, so you can enjoy it for breakfast, a snack, or even after dinner.

Let’s get into this super simple, one-dish wonder!

🧁 Method

Prep the Crumble

First, let’s make the crumble topping. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, honey, and a pinch of salt. Use a spoon at first to mix everything together, but then go ahead and use your hands to gently squeeze and combine the ingredients. Using your hands makes it easier to get a crumbly texture, which is exactly what we want. The mixture should feel soft but slightly chunky this is what gives that yummy golden topping when it bakes!

Prepare the Fruit

Next, get your fruit ready. Wash the strawberries and rhubarb really well under cold water. Then, using a cutting board and knife, chop the strawberries into quarters or halves depending on their size. Slice the rhubarb into small pieces, about the same size as the strawberries. This step is important so everything cooks evenly. Once cut, add the strawberries and rhubarb directly into your baking dish.

Sweeten and Spice

Now it’s time to bring out the flavor! Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the fruit in the baking dish. Then drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey on top. Use a spoon (or clean hands) to gently mix the fruit, cinnamon, and honey together right inside the dish. This will help coat the fruit evenly and give it that sweet and slightly spiced flavor.

Top It Off

Once your fruit is ready, it’s time to add the crumble topping. Grab handfuls of the oat mixture and sprinkle it over the fruit, making sure to spread it out evenly. Try to cover all the fruit so that each bite gets a little of the crispy topping. You don’t need to press it down just let it sit loosely on top.

Bake It

Preheat your oven to 190°C (or 375°F) before placing the baking dish in. Bake your crumble for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and the fruit underneath is bubbling around the edges. That bubbling means the fruit has softened and turned sweet and jammy perfect!

Cool Slightly & Serve

After baking, take the crumble out of the oven and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. This cooling time helps the crumble set and also keeps you from burning your mouth. When it’s ready, scoop some into a bowl and enjoy it warm. It’s even better with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or some extra fresh strawberries on top!

🛠 Necessary Tools

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A medium mixing bowl
• A cutting board and knife
• A baking dish
• A spoon (or your hands!)
• Measuring spoons and a kitchen scale (if you want to be exact)

🍽 Serving Suggestions

• For Breakfast: Enjoy warm with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
• As a Snack: Let it cool and eat it cold – still delicious!
• For Dessert: Add a scoop of vanilla yogurt or light ice cream.
• Sprinkle extra cinnamon or chopped nuts for more flavor and crunch.

🧠 Fun Fact

Did you know rhubarb is actually a vegetable, even though we use it like a fruit in desserts? It has a sour taste on its own, but when you mix it with sweet strawberries and honey, it turns into something amazing!
