Pleasantly tart rhubarb melts into this creamy oatmeal for sweet, fruity results with a bit of tang. Feel free to garnish with any additional berries you have on hand.

By Nancy Macklin, RDN,

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, cashew, or rice
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb (½-inch pieces)
  • ⅓ cup chopped pitted dates
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1½ cups sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan bring plant milk to boiling. Stir in oats, rhubarb, and dates. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
  • Top with strawberries and, if desired, serve with additional plant milk.

Does the rhubarb actually cook in 5 minutes - anyone try it? Usually takes ages to soften and cook rhubarb. Thanks!

Zara

We really enjoyed this! Skipped the dates as we don't like it as sweet, and it was fine. Added a bit of cinnamon. Glad to find another use for our rhubarb!

GA Girl

Great combination of flavors. I added a teaspoon of vanilla which enhanced the oatmeal.
