Streusel-Topped Rhubarb Muffins
Bake up a batch of these delicious rhubarb muffins for a treat
Springtime always makes me think about rhubarb. Rhubarb is tart, delicious and found in many backyards – it’s also a great source of fiber and Vitamin K. With Mother’s Day around the corner, pheraps a mom in your life would enjoy these streusel-topped rhubarb muffins. This is an old family recipe for a sweet morning treat. Tart rhubarb and the sweet crumb topping provide an amazing flavor combination! The sugar pools in little dimples that look like craters on the moon, so some people call these lunar muffins.
