Ingredients
- Crumb Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut palm sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oats
- 1 cup gluten-free pancake mix (with baking soda and baking powder included)
- Cake:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 5.3 oz non-dairy yogurt (such as So Delicious® Coconut Milk Yogurt)
- 1/2 cup Silk® Unsweetened Almondmilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups + 1 Tbsp gluten-free pancake mix (with baking soda and baking powder included)
- 1/2 cup chopped rhubarb
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9″ square pan.
-
Toss fruit with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Make crumb topping: In a large bowl, whisk sugar, salt and cinnamon into melted coconut oil until smooth. Stir in oats and baking mix until the mixture looks wet and solid/crumbly. Set aside.
-
Make batter: In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, yogurt, almond milk and vanilla extract. Add in sugar, stirring to combine. Add in baking mix and fold batter until ingredients are combined.
-
Spread ½ the batter into the prepared pan followed by fruit mixture. Top with remaining batter.
-
Crumble topping evenly on top of cake.
-
Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean of batter (it might be moist from rhubarb), and the cake springs back when pressed lightly, 45 to 55 minutes.
-
Cool completely before cutting into 9 even squares.
-
When completely cool, wrap well and store at room temperature for several days or freeze for longer storage and a quick weekday breakfast.
