Blueberry Rhubarb Crisp Honey Oats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 4 cups sliced rhubarb (fresh or thawed, approximately 560 grams)
02 - 2 cups blueberries (approximately 300 grams)
03 - 120 ml honey, or more to taste
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1 pinch ground cloves (optional)
06 - 30 grams cornstarch (use less for a looser consistency, or more for a firmer set)

→ Topping

07 - 100 grams quick oats
08 - 100 grams pecans, roughly chopped
09 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
10 - 2 tablespoons honey
11 - 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

# Instructions:

01 - Set oven to 180° Celsius (350° Fahrenheit).
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine sliced rhubarb, blueberries, honey, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and cornstarch. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
03 - Transfer the coated fruit mixture into a 24 x 19 cm ovenproof baking dish, spreading it evenly.
04 - In a separate bowl, mix together quick oats, chopped pecans, cocoa powder, honey, and melted coconut oil until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
05 - Spoon the oat-pecan mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
06 - Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the topping is crisp and golden.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

# Notes:

01 - Both fresh or thawed rhubarb can be used for this preparation.
02 - Sweetness may need adjusting according to the natural sugars in the fruit; more honey can be added as desired.
03 - For a juicier dessert, use less cornstarch, and for a firmer filling, increase the quantity slightly.
04 - This topping quantity covers a 24 x 19 cm dish; larger dishes will require a proportional increase in topping.
05 - Check for rhubarb tenderness by inserting a skewer or tasting a piece before finishing baking.
