These strawberry rhubarb muffins were part of a super springy brunch menu, and they’re so, so good! They’re full of good-for-you grains and naturally sweet, but moist and satisfying. For this brunch, we had two of our friends contribute an easy, nutritious recipe using local ingredients, and we cooked it together. This recipe is from Sarah, a fabulous cook and baker. It’s the kind of recipe I’m always looking for: a wholesome muffin that’s not too heavy but doesn’t taste flat (which is my problem when I try to make things too healthy). With the hazelnuts and the ginger, they’re complex in flavor, and the strawberry balances out the tart rhubarb. Keep reading for the strawberry rhubarb muffins recipe!
Making strawberry rhubarb muffins
These strawberry rhubarb muffins use a unique combination of oat bran, wheat bran, and whole wheat flour for the muffin batter. If you can’t find oat bran and wheat bran at your local grocery, you can find them easily online. The muffin is naturally sweet using honey, though you could use maple syrup as well. It also has a bit of fresh ginger to add an aromatic flair, and mashed banana and yogurt to keep them moist. And then of course, the strawberries and rhubarb add a tangy sweet punch! They’re so delicious and perfectly springy.
Hosting a spring brunch
We developed these strawberry rhubarb muffins as part of a spring brunch menu: which would be perfect for Mother’s Day! You now have the entire Mother’s Day brunch menu, below! In this menu, we used local eggs, asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb, honey, and bee pollen, which should be available at your local market, depending on your location. Ours even sometimes has local goat cheese. Also, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank our moms! For giving us childhoods where we were free to be creative and get lost in books and art projects, for making sacrifices for our good, and for continuing to love us every day even when we made mistakes or weren’t particularly loveable. We love you!
