A few years back I had the most amazing rhubarb patch in my back yard. It was well established, and there was no way I wanted that beautiful plant to go to waste. Every fall I would cut it down, chop it up, and freeze it in sandwich bags. Portioning the bags to 2 cups each made baking easy for me.
Now, before I go on, let me say--I am not an amazing baker by any stretch of the imagination. I can cook, but as far as baking goes--fail--UNTIL I got this "Rhubarb Muffin" recipe a few years back. Earlier today my friend Christy asked me to email it to her, so I decided to share it with all of you at the same time.
This recipe is so easy, yet so delicious, that it's guaranteed to bring out the Martha in you! Bake them for your husband and he'll be raving about you for a week--make that two! 
Rhubarb Muffins
(makes 12)
(makes 12)
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of butter
2 eggs
3 cups of flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups of chopped rhubarb
Scoop into muffin tins (you'll notice that the mixture is very dry--that's normal) and press them in a little. No paper liners required.
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
Optional: Once in a while I'll throw a handful of raspberries in too, if I have them around.
Thank you for our food, Dear Lord. May the gifts from our stove, be used to glorify You, blessing the hearts of family and friends through the joyful work of our hands.
You are loved by an almighty God,
Darlene

ReplyDeleteHi Darlene!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your recipe. I don't have an abundant source of rhubarb, but I do of the raspberries. I just know these would be so tasty!
Also thanks for the sweet cooking prayer! When my Mr. T says table grace he usually asks that God bless the hands that prepared the food and that always makes me feel so special.
Hope your day is bright and blessed!!
Mrs. T, I can't remember if I ever made them with just raspberries, but I'm guessing that would be awesome. I'd definitely try it! Yum. I only wish you lived next door, because I want one!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Stam, thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoy them!
Thanks for the yummy recipe. I really enjoy following your posts and I hope you know how much you help woman with your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteKeep on feeding us with great writings.
Blessings to you and keep on enjoying the moments!
I am making these now, is there any milk in this recipe?? it seems awful dry!
ReplyDeletethanks :)
No milk. I think that the butter melts to give it moisture and the eggs hold it together. I think I'll make some this morning too!
ReplyDeleteMine are in the oven right now. I had forgotten how dry the mixture is. That would definitely make you wonder. I'll put a note on the post!
ReplyDelete:) these were delicious!! I added about 3/4 cup of yogurt just in case, and they took longer to cook through, but are so so delicious! My husband had an hour to be home between jobs this evening and eat supper with us so I made these for dessert and he said "These are the best muffins I have ever eaten!" :) I was nervous to bake them so dry, thanks for letting me know that is normal!! :)
