Bringing It All Together

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and prepare a large glass baking dish.

2. In a saucepan, simmer the rhubarb with filtered water and cinnamon on medium heat for about 15 minutes, then allow to cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rhubarb with strawberries, green apple, lemon juice, coconut sugar and optional lemon zest. Stir gently.

4. Spread the fruit mixture evenly into your baking dish.

5. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, coconut sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add seeds or oats if using. Mix until crumbly.

6. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit base, spreading evenly to cover.

7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.

8. Serve warm with coconut ice cream, yoghurt or fresh cream. Leftovers make a delicious breakfast the next day.

Why Rhubarb and Strawberries Work So Well

Rhubarb is naturally tart and refreshing, balancing beautifully with the natural sweetness of strawberries. Both are excellent sources of plant antioxidants, while rhubarb adds a gentle dose of fibre to support regularity. The inclusion of apple adds pectin, a soluble fibre, for added digestive support.
