Strawberry-Rhubarb Almond Streusel Muffins are what you need to make while you can! Rhubarb is here for only a short time so act fast, pick up a bunch, and make these muffins today.
A few years ago I was back in Ohio, and while I was there I had to swing by my uncle’s house for a quick visit.
He has a fabulous vegetable garden surrounded by beautiful peonies and roses right now, where you’ll always find something good.
This time of year, it was rhubarb. Did you know rhubarb is technically a vegetable? That’s good info to have in case it comes up for you on Jeopardy!
After I got home with the stalks of rhubarb, I wondered, “What to make, what to make?” I decided to go a little basic and make muffins.
These strawberry-rhubarb almond streusel muffins have the best topping, and they’re anything but basic.
The topping is crumbly and a bit crunchy from the almonds, and oh-so-good. And let me tell you the crunchy is a nice complement to the soft and fruity muffins buried below.
I also used my uncle’s rhubarb another year to make my Cherry-Rhubarb and White Chocolate Bread Pudding, which turned out to be a real treat.
So many baked goods that include rhubarb are usually paired with strawberries, and for good reason. My Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is another delicious example.
Do you bake much with rhubarb? I’d have to say that I’m pretty new to the rhubarb scene with only a few recipes under my belt (see above), but those recipes happen to be pretty amazing! What do you like to make with rhubarb?
All this talk of desserts that include pretty pink rhubarb has me hungry! These muffins are easy to make, so I could definitely make a batch today. If you’re out and about and find rhubarb on the shelves, pick it up and take it home.
Even if you’re new to the rhubarb baking world like I am, you can rest assured that these strawberry-rhubarb almond streusel muffins are easy to make. What a tasty way to get to know rhubarb!
