Another glorious month of love is upon us. Celebrating this years Valentines, I thought of a mouthwatering casserole dessert that’s great for sharing…Catch my drift? This Vegan Strawberry and Rhubarb Oat Nut Crumble will satisfy and leave a pretty good first impression.
Match Made in Heaven
Your version of heaven might be the love of your life, but I have found another perfect match. What better flavour combination than strawberry and rhubarb. The sweetness of the strawberries pairs perfectly with the tartness from the rhubarb. I used dark muscovado sugar and vanilla essence in the filling. Allow for slow cooking to get all the yummy juices from the fruit. A little cornstarch will thicken up your filling to top with the most epic vegan crumble.
How To Make a Vegan Crumble
For this Vegan Oat and Nut Crumble I combined rolled oats, coconut, almond flour, slivered almonds and heart warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. I also added coconut oil as the fatty component in my crumble to keep it plant based, but you can use butter if you are not too picky. You might want to prepare yourself, the smell of this baked crumble is out of this world.
