Ingredients

  • 210 grams chopped rhubarb (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 210 grams chopped strawberries (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 2 ¼ cups water, divided
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours and drained
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ⅔ cups rolled oats
  • 5 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 5 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds or hemp seeds

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet, combine the chopped rhubarb, strawberries, ¼ cup water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Place it on the heat over medium. Once the mixture starts simmering, stir it up a bit here and there. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes or until quite sauce and rhubarb is soft.
  • In an upright, high speed blender combine the strawberry rhubarb mixture, drained cashews, remaining 2 cups water, and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Set out 5 seal-able jars. In each jar, combine ⅓ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon sunflower/hemp seeds.
  • Take the rhubarb strawberry cashew milk and pour roughly ⅔ cup over each portion of oats. If you have leftover, just divide it amongst the jars. Stir up each jar to combine and then place the lids on top.
  • Let the oats set up in the refrigerator overnight. Enjoy with more strawberries and extra maple syrup if you like. Oats will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Recipe Notes

  • You may need more sweetness added once the post of oats and seeds have sat overnight. That part is all down to personal taste. For me, the overall taste experience is like that of a tart yogurt or kefir with the ripe berry/warm vanilla flavors humming in the background. If you need more maple, go for it.
  • I tend to need a little extra milk added to my overnight oats in the morning to loosen up the texture. If you're like me, just use whatever you have on hand!
  • I like to make a little extra rhubarb strawberry compote to garnish the oats with later, but it's not 100% necessary. It just looks nice :)
Strawberry rhubarb overnight oats are naturally creamy, tart, sweet, and satiating. A super pretty and delicious vegan breakfast to prep ahead in the spring and summer months.
