Print Recipe

A quick and simple rhubarb crumble recipe designed for single servings, perfect for dorm rooms or small kitchens. This dessert balances tart rhubarb with a crunchy oat topping and can be made with minimal equipment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, chopped into small pieces (or thawed frozen rhubarb)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Cut in the cold, diced butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the sugared rhubarb into a small oven-safe ramekin and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the rhubarb, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
  7. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
  8. Let the crumble cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a crumbly topping. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. For a softer topping, microwave for 2-3 minutes. Uniform rhubarb pieces cook more evenly. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated and can be frozen before baking for up to a month.
