Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced rhubarb

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Spread the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture in the baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

  7. Serve the rhubarb crumble warm, and if desired, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
