Making Seasonal Rhubarb Muffins

One of the many things I love about Spring here in South Western Ontario, Canada is that it’s the season for fresh and locally grown rhubarb. I have a large leafy rhubarb plant growing in my backyard that requires little attention but each and every year produces an abundant amount of rhubarb to use for making apple rhubarb pie; delicious strawberry rhubarb crisp as well as these perfectly moist rhubarb muffins.

Although I do freeze whatever leftover rhubarb I have, the best time to enjoy these tasty desserts is in the Spring. If you also have extra rhubarb, chop it up into 1/2″ thick pieces and place in an air-tight freeze bag for use later on in the year.
