A quick and easy fresh rhubarb sauce served over creamy Greek yogurt with honey granola, perfect for a fresh and satisfying dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (can substitute coconut sugar)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup honey granola (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  3. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook for about 10-12 minutes until rhubarb is soft but still chunky.
  4. If sauce is too watery, increase heat for a minute or two while stirring to reduce liquid.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  6. Spoon 1/2 cup Greek yogurt into each serving bowl or glass.
  7. Top with 1/4 to 1/3 cup warm rhubarb sauce.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup honey granola over the top.
  9. Serve immediately for warm-cold contrast or refrigerate for 30 minutes to serve chilled.

Notes

Keep the rhubarb sauce chunky by not overcooking. Stir gently and avoid burning. Adjust sugar to taste to balance tartness. Lemon juice is essential for brightness. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and nut-free granola. Sauce can be made ahead and stored refrigerated up to 4 days.
