Raspberry Rhubarb and Pecan Oatmeal

This one is a warm hug for the soul, you’re going to want to make this one folks. Raspberry Rhubarb and Pecan Oatmeal has become a staple breakfast in our house. Easy to prep and toss together, those hectic early mornings are about to become easier. The mix of tart and sweet with toasted nutty flavours is exactly what you need!

Like the name of this recipes implies, the key ingredients are raspberries, rhubarb, pecans and oatmeal, but it’d good to know a bit about each if you want to make the best version of this recipe.

Rhubarb– One of my favourite seasonal ingredients, super tart and sweet but full of incredible flavour.

Raspberries– If you can find local raspberries thats great, if you cant, frozen will do just fine. They add so much sweetness and great texture to the oat meal.

Pecans– The king of the nut family. There’s something about the flavour that that just goes with anything and everything. Rich and nutty, perfect for toasting and rounding out the finished product.

Making oat meal is pretty simple, but there’s a few extra steps that we do that really make this recipe shine!

Keeping it creamy– We add a dollop of greek yogurt to our oats to add a bit of tang and give it just a bit more body.

Rhubarb loves heat– Rhubarb has an interesting texture. It’s full of small tubes that can be unpleasant if not stewed down properly. When you are making your compote, make sure to taste it to see if the texture is right.
