Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the diced rhubarb in a sprayed baking dish.

- Add hot water over the rhubarb and mixture.
- Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb.
- Bake at 325°F for 35 to 40 minutes until bubbling and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, consider substituting half of the rhubarb with diced strawberries or apples to enhance sweetness naturally. If you don't have bakeable sugar substitute, you can use honey or maple syrup, adjusting the liquid accordingly. Make sure to spray the baking dish well to prevent sticking, and let the crumble cool slightly before serving for better texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a side of Fresh Fruit Salad Glaze to brighten the flavors. This dish can be enjoyed as a healthy breakfast or a light dessert, making it versatile for any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the crumble in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This helps maintain the texture of the crumble topping.
