rhubarb muffins

yesterday we were given some rhubarb from a friend's garden so we came up with these yummy little muffins.
the kids LOVED having these for pudding last night and breakfast this morning!
preheat the oven to 180F.
while the oven is preheating, roast for 15mins (or until soft): 250g rhubarb (chopped) with 4 tsp caster sugar sprinkled over it

meanwhile melt 150g butter and leave to cool

mix 200g plain flour, 100g brown flour, 100g caster sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon 

in a separate bowl whisk 2 eggs, 300ml cream and the melted butter
put the cooked rhubarb on a plate to cool for a few minutes

fold the dry ingredients in to the wet ingredients and gently stir in the rhubarb

put in lined muffin cases and bake for 30mins

    1. yes indeedy! :) rhubarb is so good - maybe because it generally also means loads of sugar! these muffins tasted great for 48hrs but got a bit dry after that. i guess who can blame them? adding chopped apple could be good. x

  5. oh great. hi magie. thanks for coming by. i just LOVE boiling chopped rhubarb (and maybe another fruit) with lots of brown sugar and then eating it with greek yoghurt for pudding - you probably know that recipe if you have lots of rhubarb... yum! B
