Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb, chopped
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 75 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams low-fat margarine, chilled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat the rhubarb evenly with the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cubed low-fat margarine to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, rub the margarine into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed and covers the fruit completely.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender when tested with a fork.
Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavor. Serve warm, ideally with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream if desired.
