Crumbles are definitely one of the superiour desserts. They are super easy and nostalgic to make yet elegant with complex elements. Personally, I’ve mostly had apple crumbles throughout my childhood and never tried rhubarb crumble. But this beautiful seasonal produce seems to be loved by basically everyone, so I had to give it a go. To be my first time ever making rhubarb crumble, i must say, it turned out beyond my expectations. The rhubarb filling is fresh, perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, and deliciously soft. The crumble topping is a gorgous contrast to the soft filling and gives loads of sweet nuttiness and texture to the dish.
I served this for dessert when my two older brothers came home over dinner. My whole family and I enjoyed it to say the least esepcially since I served it with Oatly Vanilla. Yuuum! Anyhow, I can’t wait to create more recipes with rhubarb as it really is a beautiful piece of produce that I shall from now on cherish and love accordingly.
Do you have any great rhubarb recipes or recipe ideas? Do let me know! In the meantime, enjoy!
I’m trying to take more pictures while I create my recipes. The sun and lighting conditions are giving me quite a hard time, hence, the lower quality of the pictures. Hopefully, you still enjoy them.

Notes
*If you’re not planning on serving the crumble with something sweet like ice cream or custard, I recommend increasing the amount of coconut sugar in the filling to 5 tbsps.
