Cashew Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble with Almond Oat Topping

Sweet-tart strawberries and tangy rhubarb bubble up beneath a golden, fragrant topping that crackles with every spoonful — this is the kind of fruit crumble that makes people hover near the oven. The filling gets its glossy, jammy texture from arrowroot starch and a hit of fresh ginger, which adds a subtle warmth that keeps things interesting without overpowering the fruit. Instead of cashews or cashew-based butter, the topping leans on almond flour and sliced almonds for richness and crunch, so you get all the nutty depth you want without any concern about cross-contact from tree nuts you're avoiding. Rolled oats, coconut oil, and maple syrup bind everything into satisfying clumps that toast to a deep amber in the oven. The whole thing bakes until the edges are vigorously bubbling and the topping is irresistibly crisp — that 10-minute rest at the end is genuinely worth the wait, because it lets the filling thicken into something scoopable and luscious rather than soupy. Serve it warm on its own or with a dollop of your favorite dairy-free cream, and don't be surprised when the dish comes back empty.
