Rhubarb is particularly delicious in crumbles such as this pear crumble. It’s simple, quick, delicious and free of refined sugar. It’s also a great recipe for people who are gluten-free as it doesn’t contain oats. The scrumptious crumble is instead made up of a nourishing mix of coconut, seeds and dates — it even makes a nutritious and tasty breakfast idea.
