Easy Vegan Rhubarb Crumble
Description
This crumble starts with fresh rhubarb cut into pieces then mixed with brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to soften and sweeten the filling while retaining some tartness. The crumble topping blends quick oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and melted vegan margarine, providing a buttery, spiced crust when baked.
Once assembled in a baking dish, the dessert bakes at 350°F for around 40 minutes until the topping turns golden and the rhubarb filling bubbles and thickens slightly. The result is a balance between the juicy, slightly tart fruit base and the crunchy, sweet crumb topping. This vegan version omits dairy but still offers a satisfying texture and flavor.
Serve warm for the best texture and pairing it with vegan vanilla ice cream or vegan whipped cream complements the tart rhubarb with creamy sweetness. Adjust sugar in the filling if preferred sweeter. The crumble topping can be made ahead and stored to streamline preparation.

Notes
- For a sweeter dessert, increase the brown sugar in the rhubarb filling by ¼ to ½ cup according to taste.
- Use quick oats in the topping to ensure the crumble forms a crisp texture.
- Serve the crumble warm with vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a balanced dessert.
- Ensure the rhubarb pieces are roughly ½ inch to cook evenly and maintain some texture.
