A cozy and comforting strawberry rhubarb crumble with a golden, crunchy oat topping that balances tart and sweet flavors perfectly. Quick to prepare and ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (or quartered if large)
  • 3 cups rhubarb stalks, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (use dairy-free butter if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, stir together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour melted butter into the oat mixture and mix until crumbly but sticks together when pressed. Add more melted butter if needed.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit filling without packing it down.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  8. If topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh or properly thawed frozen fruit to avoid excess liquid. Adjust sugar based on fruit sweetness. Let crumble rest after baking to thicken filling. For gluten-free, use gluten-free oats and almond flour. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or coconut oil. Watch baking times closely and tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
