I saw the first rhubarb recipes popping on my Instagram feed already about two months ago, but here in Finland the rhubarb season is a bit later. This Creamy strawberry-rhubarb overnight oats recipe is inspired by beautiful rhubarb straight from our garden (just a little bit excited – it’s the first time ever I have my OWN rhubarb!) and sweet summer strawberries, a classic combo which I know most of us love.
This recipe is also inspired by the book Puuron uusi aika which I made together with Tuulia from wellberries. As a base for this delicious summer snack or brekkie I’ve used a slightly modified blueberry overnight oats recipe from the book (the recipe is in my previous post in Finnish).
Tuulia and I are both super honored and happy of all the creations you’ve made from our book, it’s wonderful to see so many porridge fans in Finland! Well, I guess we knew that porridge is a big thing here, but since our recipes are not the most ordinary ones, it’s lovely to see many of you getting creative with porridge and puddings.
If you want more Porridge inspiration, both warm & raw, sweet & savory, see here for a special summer offer of our book!
And now to the recipe 🙂 The secret to this creamy snack is full fat coconut cream, which I love to use in overnight oats. It just makes oats more dreamy and dessert-like. The flavor for this creaminess comes from a quick rhubarb-strawberry compote, which is why this is the perfect summer recipe. So here’s to SUMMER, here’s to beautiful and delicious summer food!

- Sprinkle coconut sugar on top and enjoy!
Tiina, this looks so creamy and delicious!! And rhubarb and strawberries are match made in heaven, I’m so sad I couldn’t get my hands on rhubarb this years and strawberry season in Croatia is already at the end! I am definitely making this, just I will use different fruit compote, can’t wait!
Thank you so much Lili for stopping by <3 They really are a perfect match - we're lucky to still have rhubarb and strawberry season has just started. It's funny how fruit seasons go in Europe, I'm a little late posting this hehe.. But yes, this recipe would definitely with any kind of fruit compote. Wishing you a wonderful (work 🙂 ) weekend!
