Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Sprinkle cornstarch over the fruit and gently toss to coat evenly, ensuring the fruit is well distributed.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture evenly over the fruit, covering the entire surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Produce: Select ripe, vibrant strawberries and crisp rhubarb for the most intense flavors.
- Cornstarch Trick: Coating the fruit with cornstarch helps create a perfectly thickened, glossy filling that isn't too runny.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your coconut oil is properly melted and ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Crisp Topping Secrets: Don't overmix the crumble - you want a slightly loose, crumbly texture for that perfect crisp.
- Baking Precision: Watch the crisp closely in the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning. The topping should be golden, not burnt.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier.
- Serving Suggestion: Elevate your dessert with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
