Apple Rhubarb Muffins

Last week I discovered that I have TWO rhubarb patches in my backyard. I strongly dislike any sort of waste, so I immediately started looking into recipes with rhubarb in them.

I came across this one for

Apple Rhubarb Muffins

Wet:
1 egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups apples, coarsely grated

Dry:
½ cup sugar
2 cups flour (I use a combination of 1 ½ cups spelt and ½ cup unbleached white)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
1 ½ cups rhubarb, diced

The completed batter
 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line/grease 10-12 muffin cups.

Combine all wet ingredients. Combine sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in rhubarb. Pour wet ingredients into dry and blend until flour mixture is just moistened.

Fill muffin cups. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown and tester comes out clean. 
 
I enjoyed these muffins. They weren't the best ever, but still a good use for the rhubarb. I also made an apple-rhubarb crisp, which was AMAZING, and prepared a bunch of rhubarb and stored it in the freezer for future use.
