Rhubarb White Chocolate Muffins

This is the second of four rhubarb recipes I have made in the last couple of weeks, and I am still looking for more! 


Since we leave so early in the morning for work, I love to have something quick and delicious like muffins on hand so we can grab them on our way out the door.  It only made sense to get some rhubarb in my next batch!

I modified a recipe from Company's Coming Mostly Muffins and I am so happy with how the muffins turned out! They are so delicious.  The white chocolate balances out the tart rhubarb nicely but they are not too sweet to enjoy for breakfast at insanely early hours.


You could also substitute another tart fruit like cranberries, or milk chocolate would taste great too.  I usually like to substitute unsweetened applesauce instead of vegetable or canola oil in my muffins, but I was all out this time.  It works great in muffins though!

This recipe makes 12 muffins.
