Tasty and moist, these easy to make strawberry rhubarb muffins are the perfect combination of sweet and sour flavors, making them a delightful dessert treat.
Strawberry Rhubarb Muffin Recipe
Growing my own rhubarb in the backyard means that it is by default the main ingredient of my baking at this time of the year. In addition to freezing the rhubarb stalks for later use and giving them away to neighbours and friends, there is plenty of baking happening. These strawberry rhubarb muffins make for a sweeter option over the classic rhubarb muffin recipe.
Adding the strawberries gives them a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tart taste of the rhubarb. Although including the chopped walnuts is entirely optional, it gives the muffins a nice crunchy texture. The muffins also do freeze well so if you make any extra, simply place them in a air-tight, freezer safe container to save and enjoy for later.
