Ingredients
- Rolled oat flour – a great alternative to all-purpose flour. You can purchase oat flour here or simply make your own by blending rolled oats!
- Baking powder – to help the muffins rise.
- Flax seeds & chia seeds – for an extra nutritional boost!
- Eggs – to help bind the ingredients and help the muffins rise.
- Almond butter – gives these rhubarb muffins a delicious and creamy texture. We love this almond butter!
- Banana & dates – to naturally sweeten and help bind everything together.
- Vanilla & cinnamon – delicious natural sweeteners.
- Rhubarb – we used fresh rhubarb in this recipe.
- Coconut sugar – raw sugar or brown sugar also work great!
What Kind of Rhubarb Should I Use?
