Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Rhubarb
- 120 milliliters Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 250 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, optional garnish)
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat a medium saucepan over low heat.
2. Chop the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces and add them to the saucepan along with the freshly squeezed orange juice and orange zest.
3. Stir in the ground ginger and 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (reserve 1 tablespoon for later). Cook on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and starts to break down.
4. In a separate pot, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oats are creamy and tender.
5. Once the rhubarb mixture is cooked, carefully fold it into the cooked oats. Stir well to combine.
6. Add the vanilla extract and the remaining tablespoon of honey or maple syrup into the mixture, adjusting sweetness to taste.
7. Allow the pudding to cook on low heat for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors together.
8. Divide the pudding into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with chopped nuts or seeds and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
9. Serve warm or chilled for a comforting and nutrient-packed treat.
