The base of this is very simple. Slice your rhubarb into desired size, I like them about 1/2 inch thick. Mix with just enough date paste to cover the rhubarb evenly. Spread out in your baking dish.
-
For the crumble, I use mainly coconut flour, which creates a softer texture, more like a crumble. However, you can use less flour and more oats or buckwheat to create more of a crisp texture.
-
Mix desired amounts of coconut flour with oats, buckwheat, a spoonful or two or ground flax or chia, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and a sprinkle of salt.
-
Add desired amount of coconut oil depending on the texture you're looking for. More coconut oil will cause the crumble to crisp more. Less coconut oil will create a softer texture. I go for a softer texture, so only use a spoonful.
-
Begin adding date paste until the dry mixture is evenly coated and begins to stick together well. A splash of water helps this along, too.
-
Crumble over the rhubarb. Again, how thick you layer on your crumble will determine if it's more like a crisp or a crumble. The thicker, the more crumbly and cake-like. The thinner, the easier it will crisp up.

Bake on about 350ยบ until golden brown, around 30 minutes.
