These strawberry rhubarb muffins are bursting with the fruit flavors of spring. They make a healthy snack or breakfast on the go. Gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free.
Muffins are one of my favorite go-to snacks. I try to make two batches of muffins every week so my kids can have a healthier alternative to packaged snacks when they come home from school. And when I get hit with mid-morning hunger, I like to grab a muffin and some fruit to get me through until lunchtime.
Strawberry and rhubarb make one of the classic flavor combinations of spring. To give these muffins an extra special touch, I make a simple crumble topping using coconut sugar. It has a sweet, earthy flavor that goes so well with the strawberries and rhubarb. Coconut sugar is less expensive than honey and pure maple syrup, and it has a lower glycemic impact. It makes the perfect sweetener for these muffins!

Made ’em without the topping and I always add less sugar than a recipe says. Didn’t have coconut sugar so I used organic brown sugar. Used rhubarb and strawberries that were locally grown without chemicals through regenerative farming, and the rest all organic ingredients. These muffins make a yummy, healthy breakfast or snack, thank you for the recipe!
