We in Ireland have a great rhubarb season where we’re so lucky to be able to get fresh, zingy rhubarb and use it in our favourite dishes. The sweetness of strawberries combines really well with rhubarb in this crumble and we up the nutritional value of the overall dish by adding in oats.
If you are watching your sugar intake, you can substitute the caster sugar for a sweetener of choice. I would err on the lower end of the sugar quantity as sweeteners can be more intense than regular sugar.
We love a crumble in our house and even though we add different things at different times, there’s nothing like the original, not messed with version to just put an “aaahhhh” in your belly! I make this gluten free for the coeliacs in my house by using gluten free flour and oats.
I’ve adapted the ingredients so they are perfect for 4 people and used a dish measuring approx. 20cm x 16cm. I’ve also reduced the original sugar content by over half. There won’t be any leftovers from this! It’s so easy to make, takes 10 mins to put together and 35 mins in the oven. Show everyone in the house how to make this and then let their creative juices flow.
Just double up for a bigger group to feed.
