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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed and covers the fruit completely.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
