Rhubarb Pistachio Baked Oatmeal
A warm, hearty baked oatmeal made with crunchy pistachios and fresh, seasonal rhubarb. This easy recipe is perfect for a spring or summer brunch!
Can you believe it’s Father’s Day week already? Are you ready for it? How do you usually celebrate?
My husband loves nothing more than to be on a beach, so for the past few years, we always take a little weekend getaway. His dad has a little house on the Jersey shore, and the whole family gets together for a nice brunch. I know he’s really looking forward to it this year.
I think brunch celebrations are probably pretty typical for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, so I thought this would be a good time to share this incredible breakfast recipe that’s especially great for feeding a crowd.
Can you believe I have never had baked oatmeal before? I’m so behind the times. Well, now that I’ve gone and done it, I’m sure there will be a lot more of it in my future.
I loved everything about it. It’s so easy to make, a little sweet and cinnamon-y, with a hearty texture that reminded me of a soft oatmeal cookie. Add some crunchy pistachios and tart, seasonal rhubarb and you have yourself a perfect breakfast dish.
Do you bake much with rhubarb? I absolutely love it. It’s truly one of my favorite things about spring. In case you aren’t familiar, the stalks look a lot like celery but they cook down to a tart, fruity, and slightly floral jam-like consistency that I just can’t get enough of. If you see some at your local farmer’s market I highly encourage you to pick some up! I’ve got quite a few rhubarb recipes on this site to get you started.
But for now, be sure to click on over to the KitchenAid blog to grab this baked oatmeal recipe! I think you’ll really love it!

Hi, I was just wondering if you used salted or unsalted pistachios. Thank you!
You can use whichever kind you like! Good luck and enjoy!
Have so much fun on your weekend getaway, Allie 🙂 We absolutely adore baked oatmeal, especially the kiddos and I know this would be gobbled up in no time! Love the rhubarb and pistachio combo!
Thank you so much Kelly! I really loved the combination of flavors. I hope you guys have a great Father’s Day weekend!
Baked oatmeal is a favorite around here! Love the rhubarb pistachio combination!
Thanks Jessica! I just love how the colors compliment each other, but it tastes pretty fantastic too!
We are big fans of baked oatmeal!! This looks fantastic and I love the green from the pistachios and rhubarb!! No plans yet for Father’s Day, so I better get busy, lol! Hope you guys have a wonderful Father’s Day weekend!
I hope you do too Malinda! I just need to pick up a few small items and we will be all set. Thanks so much for the sweet comment 🙂
That looks gorgeous, Allie. I love oatmeal, and this looks like my kind of breakfast. I usually skip breakfast unless I see something that’s super great and worth the effort making in my zombie-esque state! And this definitely looks like one of them! 🙂 And I have rhubarb in just waiting to be used. It’s meant to be, ha!
By the way while I’m here, I tried emailing you back after your last email but I just recently noticed that it’s been stuck in my outbox all this time. I’m not sure why it’s not sending, or how to force send it to you. So I wasn’t ignoring you- I thought it had sent. I’ll try to figure out how to send it soon. xo
Oh no worries! I’ll look forward to hearing from you though 🙂
I’m so happy you like this recipe! I’ve got tons of rhubarb too at the moment so I’m sure I’ll be whipping it up again soon. Hope you enjoy!
Baked oatmeal is a huge favorite of mine! But with rhubarb?? It sounds fantastic! Hope you had a great weekend Allie!
I loved the rhubarb! It was almost like a cobbler or crisp. Definitely a new favorite! Thanks so much and I hope you do too Ashley!
