My mom gave me some rhubarb from her garden. These muffins turned out very well. I chopped the rhubarb into fairly small pieces instead of slicing. I greased my muffin pan real well and didn't have any sticking problems. The muffins were very filling and something different for breakfast. Thanks for the recipe.
