Directions
01
In skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil or butter and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup. Add oats, nuts, raisins, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon, ginger, and pinch of salt to skillet and heat until oats are toasted, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn oats. Spread mixture on cutting board to cool. The granola will become crispy upon resting.
02
To make stewed rhubarb, in small saucepan combine rhubarb with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon. Cover saucepan and heat over medium-low on camp stove, stirring occasionally, until mixture is bubbling and rhubarb is tender and loses a bit of its colour, about 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
03
To serve, divide yogurt among 4 bowls and top with equal amounts of stewed rhubarb and granola. Garnish with mint if desired.
