Healthy Rhubarb Crumble
Healthy rhubarb crumble with oats is a lighter twist on a classic British dessert. This healthy version of the recipe has a not-too-sweet, crunchy oat crumble topping with delicious, tender rhubarb sweetened with a little honey.
Ingredients
- 250 g rhubarb chopped into 2 cm pieces
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 50 g butter
- 25 g sugar
- 150 g oats certified GF if required
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan).
- Put the chopped rhubarb in an oven proof dish and sprinkle with the honey, ginger and half the cinnamon.250 g rhubarb, 1 tablespoon honey, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- In a food processor, blitz the butter, sugar and remaining cinnamon. Add the oats and pulse briefly until mixed. (You don't want to turn the oats into flour as they will lose their texture).1 teaspoon cinnamon, 50 g butter, 25 g sugar, 150 g oats
- Cover the rhubarb with the topping and spread evenly over the fruit.
- Bake in the centre of a preheated oven for 30 mins. Check that the rhubarb is cooked through with the point of a knife. If it's slightly hard, cook for a little longer as varieties of rhubarb can vary. Lower the oven temperature if necessary so the crumble doesn't become too dark.
Notes
Why not try using other fruit to sweeten your rhubarb? Orange, strawberries and apples all complement rhubarb perfectly and help to balance the tartness. If you add strawberries, toss the fruit mixture in a tablespoon of cornflour to thicken the juice from the strawberries and prevent the crumble from becoming watery or soggy.
