I love rhubarb and now that it is popping up at Farmers Markets I had to get some. I planned to make some jelly but after seeing a post over at Two Peas In Their Pod, I thought I would first try out some muffins for the girls. I used this recipe as a guide but I made it a bit healthier to my liking!
All in all I really liked these but I do warn, you have to like rhubarb because the taste is so unique and if your not expecting it you might not like it! Also if you like sugary muffins feel free to add sugar instead of honey.
