butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with similar texture.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor.

oats

🥗Healthier: quinoa flakes

💰Cheaper: rolled barley

Quinoa flakes offer a gluten-free option while rolled barley is often cheaper.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds nutrients but all-purpose is often less expensive.

Start with 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour in a stand mixer.

Add 0.5 cups of sugar and 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar to the flour.

Incorporate 0.25 cups of ground almonds and 0.25 teaspoons of baking powder, along with 0.25 teaspoons of salt, and blend briefly.

Add 10 tablespoons of cool unsalted butter to the mixture, one piece at a time, mixing until it reaches a crumbly texture.

Prepare a 9-inch fluted tart pan and a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Scoop out 1 cup of the crumble mixture and bake it separately in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes until light golden brown.

Press the remaining crumble mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the ungreased tart pan to form the crust.

Bake the crust in the 350°F oven for about 20-25 minutes until it turns light golden brown and cool it before filling.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of diced fresh rhubarb and spread it evenly on the bottom of the cooled crust.

In another bowl, whisk together 0.33 cups of whipping cream, 0.25 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of ground almonds, 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to create the custard filling.

Pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb in the tart crust, ensuring an even coating.

Sprinkle the reserved crumble topping over the custard and rhubarb mixture.

Bake the assembled tart in the 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness by gently jiggling the tray; it should jiggle slightly in the center.

Allow the tart to cool to room temperature before serving, preferably chilled.
