Time 3h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
⅓ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
3 cups chopped rhubarb
½ cup old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons pure maple syrup, room temperature
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cashew milk, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix water and sugar in a deep saucepan, making sure sugar is completely mixed in. Bring to a low boil over medium heat.
