Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins

Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins – light and tender muffins loaded with chunks of fresh strawberries and rhubarb. The crunchy brown sugar topping makes them something extra special.

Rhubarb has a relatively short season and I always struggle with how to use it. But it should come as no surprise that muffins have quickly become my go-to use for it! Muffins are such a great canvas to add anything to. Like these Cranberry Orange Muffins in the fall.

These Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins are perfectly sweet, tender, a tiny bit tart from the rhubarb and delicious. The crunchy brown sugar topping gives them great texture and flavor.

This was one of the first recipes I posted back in 2011 when I first started my blog. It is my go-to recipe whenever I can get my hands on rhubarb. It is a great use and who doesn’t love an excuse to have cake for breakfast!

Muffins are basically cake without the frosting. These are soft and tender with a crunchy brown sugar topping. I have updated the recipe over the years to add almond extract. It is such an easy addition that really compliments the flavor. If you don’t have it, don’t worry you can just leave it out.
