Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rinse rhubarb to remove dirt or debris, discard leaves, and cut into ½-inch pieces (or ¾-inch pieces if stalks are thin).
In a medium bowl, combine rhubarb, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Toss well to coat and transfer to a baking dish.
In another medium bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon, and optional coconut flakes or nuts. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly and slightly sticky.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

– Use fresh, firm rhubarb for maximum flavor and texture. Substitute plant-based ingredients for vegan diets.

– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
