Hello my friends!

In today’s post I’ll show you a quick, step by step guide on how to make this easy yet utterly delicious raspberry & rhubarb crisp. It’s a great way of using seasonal rhubarb and a much healthier alternative to a traditional crumble.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE HEALTHIER RASPBERRY & RHUBARB CRISP?

Ingredients shot for Raspberry & Rhubarb Crisp
  • Frozen raspberries (you can use fresh raspberries too)
  • Fresh rhubarb
  • Vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Freshly grated ginger
  • Organic coconut sugar
  • Cornflour (or arrowroot powder)
  • Jumbo (chunky) porridge oats (gluten free). It’s important to use chunky oats in this recipe to make the topping really crispy. If you use rolled oats, it might produce slightly different results.
  • Pecan nuts (you can substitute for walnuts or almonds, however pecan nuts work best in my opinion)
  • Buckwheat flour (or plain gluten-free flour)
  • Coconut oil (or sunflower oil)

HOW DO I MAKE RASPBERRY & RHUBARB CRISP?

STEP 1

Place frozen raspberries in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 2-3minutes until the raspberries are starting to thaw and let the juice out.

STEP 2

Add chopped rhubarb to the saucepan with raspberries and cook for around 3-5 minutes until the rhubarb is slightly softened. Add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ginger, coconut sugar and cornflour and cook for a further 10-12minutes until the rhubarb is soft and a little stringy. You might want to taste the filling at this stage and add more sugar if your rhubarb is too sour.

STEP 3

To make the topping, combine jumbo oats, pecan nuts, buckwheat flour, ground cinnamon, coconut sugar & coconut oil in a mixing bowl and mix well to ensure everything is well combined.

STEP 4

Transfer the filling into a round pie dish and spread evenly with the back of the spoon.

STEP 5

Scatter the topping over the filling in an even layer and ensure that all the filling is covered.

STEP 6

Bake in the oven at 180C (350F, gas mark 4) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

STEP 7

Let it cool down slightly and serve whilst still warm with your choice of toppings.

And that’s how easy this raspberry & rhubarb crisp is, my friends! Couldn’t be easier, right?

WHAT CAN I SERVE RASPBERRY & RHUBARB CRISP WITH?

  • Ice cream (I used dairy free and low calorie ice cream)
  • Fresh dairy-free cream
  • Dairy-free custard
  • Coconut yoghurt
  • It’s just as delicious on its own!

Obviously, bear in mind that the choice of toppings will have an impact on the overall nutritional value of your portion. Just saying…:)

      Thank you Shashi! Having been in quarantine for a few weeks now, I’ve been very mindful about extra calories and reduced exercise than normal, so the fact that this crisp is waist friendly is a real bonus, isn’t it?!

    Buckwheat flour sounds like a great alternative to add a nice bit of flavour. I love the idea of a healthier crisp.

    This came out beautifully golden brown on top with a bright red raspberry center. The flavor was just right. Not too sweet, and the whole family finished it in one sitting!

    I’m mad for crumble but your lighter version of a crisp looks so good with the pink fruit.
