Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
Sweet vanilla cake muffins with strawberry and rhubarb, and a delicious pecan streusel topping.
For me, one of the first sure signs that spring baking can start is the appearance of rhubarb in the grocery store. I can only seem to get my hands on this fruit this time of year, then it’s gone. Side note…maybe I should grow one in my garden! I know so many that do, and most of these plants are cuttings from their grandmothers, who got it from their grandmothers and so on. There’s something so nostalgic about rhubarb!
Rhubarb is an amazing fruit. It’s tartness (and it is tart, whoa) pairs so well with strawberries. Last weekend, for Mother’s Day I made a Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp that was gobbled up in 10 seconds flat. So delicious!
But one of my most favourite recipes to make with rhubarb are Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins.
They’re baked with a little pecan streusel topping…muffin perfection!
