I’ve been making this gluten free rhubarb crumble for YEARS and it’s a classic in our home. Not only is it gluten free, but it’s a reduced-sugar recipe that you can feel good about using over and over.
5cupsFresh or frozen rhubarb (if frozen, thaw first and do not drain), choppedTypically 12-15 stalks
⅓cupSugarI like organic cane sugar
3tbspGluten free flourWheat flour is ok, too, if you wish!
½cupGluten free oatsThick-cut or sprouted
¼cupBrown sugar
¼cupGluten free flourWheat flour is ok, too, if you wish!
¼tspNutmeg or cinnamon
¼cupOrganic, grass-fed butterChilled and thinly sliced
¼cupNuts, choppedPecans or walnuts are my favorite
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Chop rhubarb into 1/2-1" pieces, then add to 8"x8" baking dish
Mix in 1/3 cup of sugar and 3 Tbsp gluten free flour, set aside
In mixing bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, 1/4 cup of gluten free flour and nutmeg/cinnamon
Add slices of chilled butter to mixing bowl. Cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Stir in the chopped nuts (if desired), then sprinkle the crumb topping over the rhubarb.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Sometimes I like to broil the rhubarb crumble for a minute or two at the end to caramelize everything.
Let cool slightly before serving. If you're looking for a healthier alternative to ice cream to serve it with, try plain greek yogurt! It's a great combo and an excellent way to add some protein to your dessert.
