Rhubarb not in season? Don’t be afraid to swap in frozen fruit or use any other fresh fruit you’ve got on hand such as berries or peaches.

Ingredients

  • Crumb Topping:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oats
  • 1 cup gluten-free pancake mix (with baking soda and baking powder included)
  • Cake:
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 5.3 oz non-dairy yogurt (such as So Delicious® Coconut Milk Yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup Silk® Unsweetened Almondmilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups + 1 Tbsp gluten-free pancake mix (with baking soda and baking powder included)
  • 1/2 cup chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9″ square pan.

  • Toss fruit with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl and set aside.

  • Make crumb topping: In a large bowl, whisk sugar, salt and cinnamon into melted coconut oil until smooth. Stir in oats and baking mix until the mixture looks wet and solid/crumbly. Set aside.

  • Make batter: In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, yogurt, almond milk and vanilla extract. Add in sugar, stirring to combine. Add in baking mix and fold batter until ingredients are combined.

  • Spread ½ the batter into the prepared pan followed by fruit mixture. Top with remaining batter.

  • Crumble topping evenly on top of cake.

  • Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean of batter (it might be moist from rhubarb), and the cake springs back when pressed lightly, 45 to 55 minutes.

  • Cool completely before cutting into 9 even squares.

  • When completely cool, wrap well and store at room temperature for several days or freeze for longer storage and a quick weekday breakfast.
