Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins {Recipe}

A few weeks ago I was at a dinner with a friend, Trina from O’Boy! Organic and we were talking about rhubarb. All she had to do was mention strawberry rhubarb muffins and the thought has not left my head since. We’ve been getting a ton of rhubarb from our CSA and last week we even got some strawberries, so I thought it would be the perfect time to whip up a recipe for these delicious snacks. Definitely one of my new favorite “healthy” treats, so here’s hoping for more of that rhubarb this week!

These are easy to make and you can even tweak some of the fruit amounts to tailor it for your family.
