Lee’s Individual Rhubarb Crumbles

Individual Rhubarb Crumbles Recipe

Dessert crumbles just scream cosy nights around the lounge watching a good movie with the family. A crumble, also known as a brown betty (if you’re from the UK), is a traditional British dish that can be made into a sweet or savoury version, depending on the ingredients used, although the sweet version is much more common. While most crumble recipes call for large amounts of refined white sugar, this one uses coconut sugar and spices to add sweetness and tastes just as good, if not better, than its less healthy counterparts. It’s the healthy answer to your sweet-tooth cravings that won’t leave you feeling guilty and bloated. Serve this crumble warm straight from the oven with a generous dollop of chilled yoghurt or whip up a batch coconut cream.
