Recipe: Banana and Rhubarb Muffins

Dessert recipes with herbs
July 11, 2011
RhubarbMy rhubarb sown a year ago is producing slightly larger stems than last summer, making me hope for next year in which should begin the actual production.


In the meantime I'm harvesting it anyway, using in recipes where the tartness of rhubarb brings a very unique taste.

This recipe is inspired by Kevin's Rhubarb Muffins from the interesting blog Closet Cooking.
