Calories: 268kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup rolled oats (140 grams)
  • 1 1/2 scoops PE Science vanilla plant protein (42 grams)
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (163 grams)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (48 grams)
  • 1/4 cup Skippy Natural Peanut Butter, melted (64 grams)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Strawberry Rhubarb Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, halved (180 grams)
  • 1 cup strawberries, halved (150 grams)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (24 grams)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch (15 grams)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp warm water
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon zest

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (40 grams)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (48 grams)
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour (32 grams)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed (43 grams)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk cornstarch into warm water and set aside.
  • Make the filling: Add rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and lemon zest to a pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until strawberries and rhubarb have begun to break down, then bring to a quick boil for 1 minute and remove from heat. Whisk in cornstarch slurry and set aside to cool and thicken.
  • Make the crust: Stir applesauce, melted peanut butter, light brown sugar, beaten egg and yolk, vanilla, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add rolled oats, protein powder, and cinnamon and stir until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Pour strawberry rhubarb mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Set aside.
  • Make the topping: Cut in the chilled butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or food processor (or even with your hands) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.  Sprinkle the crumble over the filling.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
