Rhubarb Muffins

"Nothing matches muffins with coffee or a cup of tea. Making muffins with Rhubarb is a great way for me to get my family to eat it. This particular recipe is from a book called "Muffin Magic" by Diana Linfoot."

Yummy muffins!! I used sour cream in these and baked them at 350* for 23 minutes. The rhubarb is really tasty here, not too sour, lends a teriffic sweet-tart like taste. We had the muffins for an evening snack with hot chocolate. Very enjoyable!! Thanks ChrissyO, I will put this in my keepers file!

I love rhubarb but these left a lot to be desired. Too heavy and not any flavor until you hit a piece of the rhubarb. If you want to try this, be sure you chop the rhubarb small and distribute evenly. I don't think I will try this again.

Instead of sugar, I used Truvia Sweet Complete Brown. I used applesauce instead of oil. I baked them in my muffin topper pan. I baked them for 15 minutes when using 1/3 cup of batter, and only 10 minutes with less batter. Added some strawberry fruit spread to the finished muffin. Delicious!

Very good! If you like super sweet dessert muffins, these are not it. To make it a little more health-conscious, I subbed apple butter for the oil, and used a combination of whole wheat flour and rolled oats (add 4 tsp of baking powder). I also swapped brown sugar for the white. I will make more of these with my bumper crop of rhubarb. Thanks!
