Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal
Strawberry Rhubarb Baked OatmealIt’s rhubarb season and I’ve always loved the combination of strawberries and rhubarb in pies and crumbles. One of my favorite baked oatmeal recipes that I LOVE to bring to potlucks or serve for brunch is Baked Oatmeal with Bananas and Blueberries, so after my friend Raquel asked me how strawberry rhubarb would taste, I immediately started experimenting. Another easy baked oatmeal recipe I love for the fall is Baked Oatmeal with Pumpkin and Banana.
For this recipe, I loved the combination strawberries and rhubarb, especially when I added the ripe bananas, I felt they added an extra sweetness to the tart rhubarb without having to add more honey. I also love that this baked oatmeal with fruit can easily be made gluten free, dairy free and with any fruit combinations.
I think this would be wonderful for a Mother’s Day brunch; six servings is very generous, especially if you have other options on the table.
