Indulge in the sweet-tart goodness of this Nut-Free Rhubarb Crumble, a timeless dessert that’s perfect for spring and summer gatherings. This family-friendly recipe lets the tangy flavor of rhubarb shine, thanks to its bright combination of lemon juice, zest, and just the right amount of sugar. Topped with a buttery, golden-brown crumble made from rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour, this dessert strikes the perfect balance between crisp and tender. Best of all, it’s free from nuts, making it a safe and delicious option for those with allergies. With just 20 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, this easy rhubarb crumble pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an irresistible finish.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash and cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces. Place the rhubarb in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch to the rhubarb. Toss everything together until the rhubarb is well coated. Set aside to allow the rhubarb to release some of its juices.
In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon.
Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture, crumbling it together with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs and the oats are well incorporated. It should hold together in clumps when squeezed.
Transfer the rhubarb mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
Remove the crumble from the oven, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
