Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups water
Rhubarb Mixture:
- 1 cup chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (optional, for creaminess)
- Extra maple syrup and chopped nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil.
- Stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chia seeds if using. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in milk for a creamier texture, if desired.
- Serve warm, topped with extra maple syrup and chopped nuts if you like.
Add the oats and chopped rhubarb, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the rhubarb is soft and beginning to break down.
Notes
- For added protein, stir in a scoop of nut butter or a spoonful of Greek yogurt before serving.
- If using frozen rhubarb, no need to thaw—just increase cook time by a minute or two.
- You can also prepare this recipe ahead and reheat in the microwave with a splash of milk.
