Lemon Rhubarb Muffins
When I think of spring, I can’t go past Rhubarb and remembering the massive Rhubarb patch my mom had down by our pond when growing up. Those bright, juicy stalks bursting with so much flavor add a pop of freshness to any baked item. Rhubarb is one of those vegetables (yes, it’s a veggie, not a fruit) that people don’t have a clue how to use including myself. It can be intimidating to buy a veggie that you’re not familiar with, but that’s also part of the fun of cooking. At least for me it is – my mind is always churning with new recipe ideas, some of which pan out and some don’t.
Adding rhubarb in sweet recipes, is of course as simple as chopping them and throwing them into your cakes, muffins, slices, or tarts. They cook down upon heating in the oven and create the most gorgeous pink hued topping. This recipe is super simple and with spring is in the air and since I never ever get tired of pink, be sure to try these sweet, tart, delicious muffins.
