These muffins are just OK; nothing special. Another rhubarb muffin recipe that I use, which includes sour cream and a brown sugar nut crumble topping, makes them much more interesting.

I made a double batch last night, and they were delicious. Two changes....I added mixed dried fruit [craisins/raisins/currants] instead of nuts, and I sprinkled about 1/2tsp white sugar on top of each muffin before baking. My double batch yielded 24 large muffins.

MMMMM this recipe makes up easy, and is so darned delicious. Everyone here gave it a 5 wishing they could give it more. I personally wish my rhubarb in the garden wasn't just in it's first year, so I could make this more often. Thank You for a really great keeper of a recipe, the next time I make them I am gonna frost them with a cream cheese frosting.
