Рецепт Rhubarb Muffins
Rhubarb is one of the first things that hit the farmer’s markets that get me into fresh, local, seasonal cooking/baking. I had never heard of rhubarb until moving to Maine, but I am getting used to baking with it. It has such a nice, tart taste and is usually accompanied with something sweet, like strawberries.
Alan and his father like rhubarb so I usually try to make something while it’s in season. Spring has quickly come and gone and yet again, I’m behind the eight-ball with things! The little one keeps me busy. I decided not to go too daring, to make sure that something was baked for my husband. These muffins were a cinch to make and had such a wholesome, fresh taste. Sometimes, less is more!
