Ingredients
- 600g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 3 cm pieces
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup plain flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 100g cold unsalted butter, cubed
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Toss rhubarb with honey, vanilla, lemon juice and cornflour until evenly coated. Spread into a 20–22 cm baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs. Resist overworking — some pea-sized pieces of butter are fine.
- Scatter the crumble evenly over the rhubarb.
- Bake 30–35 min until the crumble is golden and the rhubarb is bubbling at the edges.
- Rest 10 min before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, thick cream or Greek yoghurt.
Farm tip — Honey-sweetened rhubarb softens more quickly than sugar-sweetened — check at 28 min and pull it early if the sides are already bubbling furiously.
