Rhubarb Crumble with Erin Dolan

 For a sweet craving this weekend, try out this healthier version of Rhubarb Crumble with Erin! Check her out @crazyaboutdiabetes on instagram! She says "Rhubarb crumble is my favourite ❤️- it’s tangy, beautifully pink and goes so well as a summer dessert. @ibdmedical gave me some inspiration to make a Rhubarb Crumble into a blood sugar friendly version. This Rhubarb Orange Crisp recipe uses less sugar and adds flaked almonds and almond flour for the crumble part."
