The Rhubarb is finally popping up again! And, oh boy do we always have an abundance of it around here. As much as we love to mix it into compote and sauces, this recipe incorporates it in a way that is sometimes almost undetectable, but also seems to add so much to the muffin. A favorite and reliable muffin recipe for us, you can also add other fruits or nuts to the batter to jazz it up even more.
