Technically, you could call this a compote, but it’s got a bit more going on. Think of it as a stewed rhubarb goodness with tropical vibes—pineapples, bananas, orange zest, and a hint of cinnamon, all cozying up with tart rhubarb.

The pineapple juice, ripe bananas, and coconut blossom sugar make it perfectly sweet, no need for refined sugar.

Next: Top it all off with chopped almonds for a bit of crunch, and there you have it - a light, lush treat that’s as good for breakfast as it is for dessert.


What Goes Into This Stewed Rhubarb Recipe

  • Rhubarb: The springy star of the show; tart, vibrant, and just a little bit sassy.
  • Pineapple juice: Naturally sweet and a bit tropical, just what we need for balancing rhubarb’s tartness. If you happen to have pineapple pieces, add them for extra texture; they work great!
  • Bananas: Ripe and spotty. They add sweetness, creaminess, and a little extra body.
  • Coconut blossom sugar: A warm, caramel-like sweetness that plays well with the fruits. But you can totally substitute for your sweetener of choice.
  • Orange (zest and fruit): Bright, zesty, and just a hint of citrusy sweetness.
  • Cinnamon: A cozy, spicy note that makes everything feel a bit more dessert-y.
  • Chopped almonds: Crunchy, nutty goodness to sprinkle on top.

If you’re feeling a little extra, go ahead and add a generous dollop of coconut yogurt. Yum!

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary

Compote

  • 300 g rhubarb
  • 400 ml pineapple juice*
  • 2 very ripe, spotty bananas
  • 3 teaspoons coconut blossom sugar (or your sweetener of choice)
  • Zest and fruit of one orange
  • 1 scant teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • 1 banana
  • Handful of chopped almonds
  • 1 teaspoon coconut blossom sugar (or your sweetener of choice)

Instructions

  • Wash the rhubarb, cut off the ends, and peel the stalks. Cut the stalks into pieces.
  • Peel the two ripe bananas, and blend them with the pineapple juice, 3 teaspoons of coconut blossom sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon until smooth.
  • In a pot, bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat. Add the rhubarb pieces and cook on very low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent boiling over.
  • Peel the orange and cut it into pieces (remove any seeds). Add the orange pieces to the pot for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking (they shouldn’t turn mushy).
  • Let the stewed rhubarb cool, then spoon it into cups.
    Top with banana slices, chopped almonds, and a sprinkle of coconut blossom sugar.

Notes

*You can substitute pineapple juice with orange juice.
