Rhubarb Strawberry Muffins ~ muffin mondays

Some people call themselves Cheese Heads, I on the other hand call myself a Muffin Head.  Next to pie, muffins are my next great love. Well I kinda like my cheese though too…

UGh! I know I’ve got issues!

Muffins are on my list of comfort foods; somewhere in between fried chicken and sushi…..I said I had issues.   Muffins are great for breakfast, perfect as a snack for the kids, and they freeze up easy too!  Which makes them great for that unexpected coffee time with a friend!

What is it about Rhubarb and Strawberries?  They are like ebony and ivory, marshmallows and hot chocolate,  the Lone Ranger and Tonto, chips and salsa, Sponge Bob and Patrick Star….well you get the idea.  Rhubarb and strawberries are perfectly paired.

A Rhubarb Bread recipe and a Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp recipe I have, both given to me by friends, inspired these muffins.  They are like the first breath of Summer in a muffin!

The batter comes together easily. All you need to do is throw the ingredients together, fold in the diced rhubarb and mashed strawberries, and your ready to fill your muffin tins.

 

Fill greased muffin tins, or if you prefer to use papers that works too, fill 2/3 full and don’t forget the topping!

    Morning Sheila~ I too love muffins. How amazing would it be to get us together over a big ole pot of coffee and a hot batch of muffins. Oh dreamy! These look delish —though I’m not experienced with Rhubarb. LOVE strawberries and these sound so good!!
