If you like rhubarb and ginger you are going to adore these delicious sweet rhubarb muffins. This easy recipe is so quick to make and they’re a great snack.
Hi, it’s Sam here from A Happy Home In Holland. A while ago, my mum let me try her amazing rhubarb, raisin and ginger muffins. One bite and I was sold, I had to have her rhubarb muffins recipe! This easy recipe is simple and easy plus they’re a great treat for family and friends if you need potluck ideas.
I’ve always been a fan of rhubarb and have fond childhood memories of being able to go to the bottom of my granddad’s garden and pick a stick to eat raw. We would always bring them back to the house to wash it and chop the ends off. Our grandma would then give us a small bowl of sugar so that we could dip it as we munched our way through the rhubarb stick.
These muffins have the sweetness of sugar and rhubarb that I remember from my childhood. So I am really excited that I get to share this recipe with you. You’ll enjoy the combination of sweet and slightly spicy. They are packed with different flavors.

Where to find Rhubarb
The best place to find fresh rhubarb is right in your backyard. This plant is super easy to grow and it produces a lot of stalks that you can use for baking.
Rhubarb season is from about April-June. Start looking at your farmer’s market for some fresh rhubarb stalks.
Otherwise, you’ll be able to find it at your local grocery store too.
Even people who generally don’t like rhubarb tend to like these delicious sweet and flavoursome muffins.
I do hope you will have a go at making these rhubarb muffins because I am sure you are going to love them.
