  2. For some people, cooking with rhubarb really does mean leaving their comfort zone. Thankfully, rhubarb does pair well with peaches, apples and strawberries when making muffins. A low fat yogurt can replace the oil too in many recipes.

  3. I had a huge bag of rhubarb in the freezer that I needed to use. So I made these muffins tonight! They tasted really good. Even my husband liked them and he sometimes turns his nose up at my ‘healthier’ options. I used whole wheat pastry flour and I added 1/3 c. pecans just to add a little something. It was good and I may add even a few more nuts next time. I just put a bunch in the freezer so we’ll see how they do.

  4. I used whole wheat flour and i made a puree from frozen red raspberries and strawberries as I couldn’t find rhubarb. They are really good and even my 2yr old son approves!! I made mini muffins to control my portions and to fit my sons little hands 🙂 very yummy! thanks!

    1. Toni, I’m so sorry for the frustration. I checked, and it does seem to work for me. Perhaps try reloading the page, or using a different browser to see if that would work? I will definitely let our development team know so they can look into it, though.
