Rhubarb Pie Oatmeal
It’s Oatmeal, but it tastes like rhubarb pie. But it’s healthy, but it tastes like dessert.

Why should rhubarb* be saved for fancy desserts on special occasions? It’s delicious and it grows like a weed. If you have one in your backyard, you might as well use it in every recipe you possibly can! It’s free food, for God’s sake!
In my family, we use rhubarb* for pie (as most people do). It’s been the staple food of every summer event for my whole life. I often grow nostalgic for that pie (but not the copious amount of calories associated with it). Since I was gifted rhubarb* this week, I made it my mission to figure out how to use it in a more health-promoting way.
Introducing: Rhubarb* Pie Oatmeal! It’s flavored just like my family’s pie recipe, but with less sugar and very little fat. Now I can enjoy “rhubarb* pie” every morning!
This recipe yields about 3 cups, so double the recipe if you’re feeding more than two people. You can use a potato masher to break the rhubarb* up into fine pieces, but I just broke them up with a wooden spoon to keep some bigger chunks. Garnish with some grape nuts and walnuts for textural variety, and drizzle with some extra maple syrup and soy milk to make it extra fancy.
If you’re a fan of rhubarb, I know you’ll love this recipe as much as we did.
Happy Cooking,
