Looking for a new breakfast that’s super healthy, but it’s so delicious it feels like dessert? Then look no further!
Strawberry-Rhubarb Oatmeal Bake
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked oats
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rhubarb compote
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup*
Directions
- Cook oatmeal according to package directions.
- After oatmeal is done cooking, add the strawberries and vanilla extract. Continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Watch it carefully and don’t leave it on too long – you want to dry out the oatmeal, not burn it!
- Pour into a bowl and add the rhubarb compote and maple syrup. This will moisten the oatmeal as well as cool it down.
- If you like it crispy on top like we do, put the oatmeal in the broiler for a minute or two, or until the edges start to brown.
- Enjoy!
Note: We suggest serving with an egg for additional protein. (We like Eggland’s Best eggs since they have 25% less saturated fat than ordinary eggs.)
