Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Grease and line a shallow 20cm x 30cm tin with baking parchment.
Step 2:
Sift the flour into the bowl, add the sugar and butter and rub together until it starts to come together, use a food processor if desired. Mix through the oats with clean hands to combine.
Step 3:
Press the oaty mixture into the base of the pan until even.
Step 4:
Toss the rhubarb with the sugar and extract and sprinkle evenly over the oaty mixture.
Step 5:
For the topping add the sugar, flour and butter to a bowl and use your fingers to blend to form clumps that range in sizes. Stir through the flaked almonds.
Step 6:
Sprinkle the topping over the rhubarb and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden. Let it cool in the tin.
Step 7:
Melt the white chocolate and either pipe or drizzle all over the top of the crumble topping.
Step 8:
Cool before refrigerating, cut into slices before serving.

Recipe Reviews
It's our favourite dish for rhubarb, always a winner and we save a bit of time by using a food processor for the mixing bit. Quite forgiving as well as we sometimes "adjust" quantities of ingredients depending on what we have in the cupboard. Oh, also works with coconut oil instead of butter
Didn't have chocolate for the top but I don't think it needs it. So delicious!
Delicious, I didn't have enough rhubarb so made up the weight with strawberries, only added 80g of sugar to base 50g to Rhubarb and 50g to topping, still plenty sweet enough.
Lovely - had searched all my books for a rhubarb slice recipe, and then found this one.
I ran out of sugar, but think there's maybe a bit too much in the instructions. Had it hot with yoghurt.
The three layers make the recipe seem complicated but it was very easy and the result was very tasty! I cooked it for an extra 15 mins to get it golden brown and the rhubarb oozing, and cut the sugar down a bit. Will definitely make it again!
Agree with everyone else - fantastic recipe and very simple to sort out as well
