WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com

Perk up your morning oatmeal with the addition of tangy rhubarb. Using milk for this oatmeal gives it a calcium boost, but the recipe also works well with water—and you’ll save about 60 calories.

Ingredients
Prep: 20 | Total Time: 20
  • 1 1/2 cups
    nonfat milk, or nondairy milk, such as soymilk or almond milk
  • 1/2 cup
    orange juice
  • 1 cup
    old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup
    rhubarb, fresh or frozen; 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon
    ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch
    salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons
    brown sugar, pure maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 2 tablespoons
    pecans, chopped; or other nuts, toasted if desired
Instructions
  1. Combine milk, juice, oats, rhubarb, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook at a very gentle bubble, stirring frequently, until the oats and rhubarb are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in sweetener to taste. Top with nuts.
