Rhubarb Muffins
Rhubarb season is something that I look forward to every year. I am always looking for ways to use it, such as new jams or baking recipes. One of my favourite rhubarb recipes is Rhubarb muffins. They are fluffy and tart and sweet in a wonderful way and the optional streusel topping is delicious! My kids don’t always like rhubarb but they sure went through these Rhubarb muffins quickly! Try out our Rhubarb Muffin Recipe.
I love baking muffins because they are so easy to bake a big batch and freeze them for later. I just make sure to cool completely before storing in reseal able freezer bags until we need them. They thaw quickly for a breakfast on the go or just throw one frozen into your lunch box and it will be thawed and ready when you get hungry.
Handy tip: tossing Rhubarb pieces with flour will help to keep the fruit evenly distributed in the muffins instead of sinking to the bottom.
