RunAmok Mama's Rhu-Berry Crumble!

5/28/2014

Oh yeah, Baby... LIFE. IS. GOOD!
A delicious crumble... S for Trim Healthy Mama!

Rhubarb is an old-time favorite of mine! So many younger mamas have never even cooked with rhubarb, I worry this will fall by the wayside!

Enter "RunAmok Mama's Rhu-Berry Crumble"! A THM-friendly dessert, packed with the traditional old-fashioned "tart-sweet" flavor, but without the unhealthy sugar-spike!

A timeless favorite, with a healthy twist!

INGREDIENTS

4 cups fresh, sliced rhubarb (can use frozen, if you desire)
3 cups fresh, whole strawberries (can use frozen for this as well)
1 cup Honeyville Blanched Almond flour
3/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats
3/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Golden Flax meal
1/4 cup Swanson Organic Oat Bran Fiber (or oat fiber, if you prefer)
3 TBS Swanson Organic Coconut flour
3 TBS Swanson Premium Whey Protein Powder
1/4 cup homemade Sweet Blend, separated (*Or THM Sweet Blend)
4 tsp Bob's Red Mill Aluminum-free Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Swanson Ultra Himalayan Crystal Salt (or Kirkland Himalayan Pink Salt)
1/3 tsp THM Organic Stevia extract (or Kal Organic Stevia)
3/4 cup Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Yield: 8-10 servings

Preheat oven to 375° F.

1. Melt coconut oil in a small bowl.

2. While coconut oil is heating, layer the rhubarb and strawberries evenly in an 8X11" or 9X13" baking dish.

3. Sprinkle with 1/8 cup of homemade Sweet Blend.

4. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl, and add melted coconut oil, stirring until well-incorporated.

5. Spread the topping semi-evenly over the top of the fruit.

6. Place in oven and cook for 30 - 35 minutes, watching carefully the last 10 minutes or so, to prevent burning. *If using frozen rhubarb/strawberries, you may have to alter the timing just a bit.

Should be nicely browned... I was going to take a GORGEOUS picture of this, and had an unexpected phone call. I hollered at the kids to let it sit on the stove... came back to find HALF of the crumble GONE!

So, my dreams of a spectacular photo were dashed, and you are left with a not-so-appealing photo!

Tastes FANTASTIC though, so I bet you will forgive me!

*Some will see the oats and worry this is a crossover... but the oats are spread out over quite a few servings, so this works for S. ;)

Thanks so much for this recipe, my family and I LOVE it!! I've made it twice in 2 days :) I substituted sunflower seed flour for almond (since I'm allergic). Mmmmm SO GOOD!!!!

I was just looking for a THM friendly recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb pie about 3 weeks ago, and then this popped up. We love rhubarb and I can't wait to try it! Thanks!!!

I can't wait to try this! I've been doing Trim Healthy Mama for a while, but recently have been doing it gluten and dairy free. I'm so glad I'll be able to make this recipe! I don't have any oat fibre, can you suggest a substitute?

Hi Gisele,

It might change the texture/flavor a bit, as well as the nutritional values... but you could *try* and make up the difference by adding an extra 1/8 cup flax meal, and another TBS of coconut flour. I bet it would still taste wonderful!

Looks great! So...how do I follow your blog?

Hi Conney,

You should be able to scroll down the right side of the screen and see the "RSS" feed... Click on that, and it should allow you to follow.

Wondering if for this recipe if frozen blueberries,strawberries and maybe 1 fresh peach could be used? If I melted the butter and then mixed the dry ingr to make a crumble?

9/3/2014 03:07:05 pm

Hi Carrie-Lynn,

That sounds like it would be very tasty!! Now, something to consider... If you added blueberries and a peach, you would change the recipe from an "S" to a "Crossover", as they are much higher in carbs/sugar than the strawberries and rhubarb called for in the above recipe.

Still a healthy treat, and still "on-plan"... but would not be as conducive to weight-loss as the Rhu-Berry combination. :) You could sub out raspberries, blackberries, or a triple-blend, however... :)

Doesn't the fruit make this a crossover rather than an S? (hoping not)

9/3/2014 03:10:32 pm

Hi Gretchen,

The strawberries and rhubarb are "FP", and the amount of oats is low enough to keep this from crossing over. You could also, safely, use blackberries, raspberries, or even a triple-berry blend...

If you added blueberries, apples, peaches, or other higher-carb fruits, then it would definitely become a crossover. :)

Is the topping on this recipe crisp? I'm looking for the traditional "crisp or crunch" not sure how to make it that way. I love rhubarb!! :) Thanks!!

Hi Sharon,

This is more of a "crumble" - The topping is firm, with a bit of crunch... but not in that hard-baked, "granola" sense.

If you are going for really firm, you could probably bake the topping (separately) for a few minutes on a lower setting, before following the rest of the steps -- but you would want to really watch it, to prevent scorching toward the end of the cook time.

This looks fantastic. I'm sure I'm over looking it but I can't seem to find the oven temp to bake this yummy creation. This is my first time using rhubarb but loved it when my grandma made it.
