These fresh rhubarb muffins have a delicious brown sugar sprinkle topping. It may surprise you that they are relatively low in fat and sugar, too. Always a bonus.
The rhubarb in our garden grows really well, but I often struggle to think of ways to use it up. It certainly isn’t a fruit I have a million and one recipes lined up for, that’s for sure. It looks like I am not the only one who has got rhubarb all wrong.
However, despite my lack of ingenuity where the stalky ones are concerned, these fresh rhubarb muffins are always a family favourite – they are quick and easy to make, yielding really soft, delicious cakes every time!
The ingredients below are enough for eight really good sized muffins!
