Delicious, brunch worthy dish of baked oatmeal featuring fresh strawberries and rhubarb with a naturally sweetened topping of oats, sliced almonds, honey, and coconut oil. Your guests will rave about this recipe for weeks to come!
Summer Brunch’n
Ohh, I love brunch’n. Ya know, the times on the weekend when you can just relax at home and skip breakfast cause there is no rush to get to work. And you are tired of your weekday lunches so you decide to just do some brunch’n. 😉 It’s just wonderful! I really love breakfast foods, but I rarely eat them for breakfast because my mornings are just too busy.
I’m usually a coffee and greek yogurt for breakfast kinda gal, if I make time for breakfast at all. But say brunch, and I am all over that! Breakfast for dinner is one of my favs because I get to taste these wonderful foods I always miss out on in the mornings.
By the way, let me make one thing crystal clear… this is not a dessert. It is naturally sweetened with honey and overall is not overly sweet like a dessert, making this a perfect option for breakfast!
If you are looking for something a little more desserty, try this Simple Berry Crumble. This pretty little dish is baked oatmeal. And it is simply scrumdiddlyumptious! My kids are watching BFG, so I couldn’t help myself. 😂 This strawberry rhubarb baked oatmeal has a soft, creamy bottom layer like oatmeal with a fruit and crunchy layer on top of it.
Baked Oatmeal Meets Rhubarb
Rhubarb. Did you know this stuff is really a vegetable? Ya, crazy huh!? But it is considered a fruit because we often prepare it like it is a fruit. Rhubarb in oatmeal has always appealed to me and yet, I have never tried it because I have always reserved rhubarb for crisps or crumbles. But for some reason, I just had to try out this baked oatmeal with one of my favorite fruits (really a vegetable 😉) of all time!!
The result…
