Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and granulated sugar. Stir well and set aside to allow the juices to start extracting.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oats, baking soda, and salt.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly and evenly moistened.
Press half of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Spread the sugared rhubarb mixture evenly over the crust layer.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly on top of the rhubarb layer, lightly pressing it down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is soft and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
