Ingredients
For the filling:
500g ForestFoods Rhubarb - Victoria, chopped into 1-inch pieces
100g granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the crumble topping:
150g all-purpose flour
100g light brown sugar
50g rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
110g unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Toss until the rhubarb is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the crumble to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Golden & Crunchy Rhubarb Crumble – A Perfect Balance of Sweet & Tart
Why This Recipe Works
The tartness of ForestFoods Rhubarb - Victoria pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the crumble, creating a balanced dessert. The addition of oats provides texture and a slight nuttiness, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Rhubarb's natural acidity helps to break down the sugar, making the filling deliciously syrupy. Additionally, rhubarb is packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants that support overall health.
Perfect Pairing
Rhubarb crumble pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, which complements its tartness. For a heartier pairing, serve it with custard or yogurt for added creaminess. A cup of earl grey or chamomile tea also enhances the dessert's comforting qualities, making it a perfect treat for a cozy evening.
