It was just a few weeks ago that our rhubarb plant was cover with snow. Now we have rhubarb coming out of our ears; it is amazing what a few weeks can do. With all this rhubarb I have been looking for some new recipes to feature on my blog.
I thought I would start out with some muffins. I like to make muffins since you can freeze some for another day. I love the combination of strawberry and rhubarb, the sweetness and the tartness of the two fruits go so well together,
The muffins are simple, not to complicated to make, and the crumb topping adds a little bit of sweetness. Even after giving some of the muffins away, I had some to freeze and yes they froze very nicely.
Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins (Source: adapted from robinhood.ca)
Ingredients:
Batter-
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cup rhubarb, chopped
3/4 cup strawberries, chopped
Topping-
1/2 brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Combine the first five ingredients. Combine the remaining ingredients for batter in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until dry ingredients are moistened.
2. Spoon into muffin cups that have been lightly greased.
3. Combine the topping ingredients, until well blended. Sprinkle topping on muffins and lightly press the topping in to the batter.
4. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tops are firm to touch.
They look very appetizing :)

ReplyDeleteHello dawn, After seeing this post a couple days ago . . . I promptly when outside and pulled some rhubarb and made muffins. I didn't have strawberries, so I changed it up a bit and added 1 cup each, rhubarb, shredded carrots and shredded apple. They turned out so good. Thanks for the inspiration :)
