Rhubarb & Strawberry Crumble With Nutty Muesli Topping
Rhubarb & Strawberry Crumble With Nutty Museli Topping
A wholesome take on a classic spring – summer dessert, this crumble features just-picked rhubarb and strawberries, gently cooked with coconut sugar until jammy and bright. The topping is a crunchy, golden blend of oats and nutty muesli—lightly sweet, rich in texture, and baked to perfection. It’s rustic, naturally sweetened, and just as good for breakfast as it is for dessert.
