Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Servings: 10 crumble cups
  • Cuisine: American
  • Course: Breakfast / Dessert
  • Calories: 190 per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup (120 g) chopped rhubarb
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (60 g) rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 10-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.

  2. In a medium bowl, toss the chopped strawberries and rhubarb with the maple syrup until evenly coated. Set aside to let the fruit marinate slightly.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and egg until smooth and well combined.

  4. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a spoon or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It should hold together loosely when pressed.

  5. Press about half of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a solid base. This prevents sogginess from the filling later on.

  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture evenly over each crumb base, spreading gently but not needing to fully cover the crumbs.

  7. Add a generous spoonful of the maple-coated fruit on top of the yogurt layer in each cup.

  8. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the fruit, lightly pressing to hold some crumbs in place but keeping that crumbly texture.

  9. Bake in the oven for 24 to 28 minutes. Look for a golden-brown color on the topping and bubbling fruit juices. The edges should be firm while the yogurt layer sets without cracking.

  10. Remove from the oven and allow the crumble cups to cool completely in the pan before taking them out. This helps maintain their shape and prevents falling apart.

Recipe Notes

  • Don’t skip pressing half the crumbs into the muffin cups—it makes a much better base that holds everything together.
  • If your oven tends to brown items quickly, check at 20 minutes and tent with foil if needed.
  • Letting the fruit sit with maple syrup for 10–15 minutes before baking helps juices release and flavor deepen.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing, especially the egg and yogurt.
  • For easy cleanup, line your muffin tin with parchment or silicone liners.
  • These cups can be made a day ahead; just store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
