Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 stalks rhubarb, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat milk
  • 1 1/2 cups traditional rolled oats
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine rhubarb, caster sugar, vanilla paste and 1 tablespoon cold water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Remove from heat.
  2. Meanwhile, bring milk and 1 1/2 cups cold water to the boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in oats and salt. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until porridge thickens (porridge will coat spoon when ready). Remove from heat. Cover and stand for 5 minutes (porridge will cool and thicken slightly on standing). Stir in brown sugar.
