Ingredients
The main ingredients you need to make Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal you will definitely need: strawberries, rhubarb, and oats!
Some ingredients you may not expect (and can omit if you don’t want to purchase them) are hemp hearts, chia seeds, and honey! Hemp hearts add some easy protein, chia seeds pump up the fiber, and honey makes the oatmeal more sweet! All are not 100% necessary, but I enjoy having them.
In addition, you will need to utilize some pantry staples such as cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal
If you’ve never made baked oatmeal, no worries, I’ve got you covered. We’ll walk through it together so it comes out exactly as it should!
In a large bowl combine the oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set this aside.
Now, grab out a medium sized bowl. In it add the milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract then mix it together well.
Next up, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Make sure these are well combined, then fold in the chopped strawberries and rhubarb.
Add this mixture to a non-stick 9×9 dish and flatten out. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes!
Lastly, you’re going to want to let this cool a bit before digging in. It’ll be quite hot!
