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
-
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.
-
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.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and egg until smooth and well combined.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture evenly over each crumb base, spreading gently but not needing to fully cover the crumbs.
-
Add a generous spoonful of the maple-coated fruit on top of the yogurt layer in each cup.
-
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the fruit, lightly pressing to hold some crumbs in place but keeping that crumbly texture.
-
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.
-
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.
