Making muffins is one of my weekly Sunday traditions. I love starting the week with having fresh baked goods for my family. Muffins are easy to grab and go, and I always feel good about giving my toddler food that I made instead of packaged food. And what better way to use in season fruit like strawberries and rhubarb than these muffins (or strawberry overnight oats!).

Ingredients

• Flour: These muffins use all-purpose flour. Be sure to use a spoon and level method to measure the flour so they don’t turn out dry! To make these gluten free, swap the flour for all-purpose gluten-free flour.
• Sugar
• Baking Powder & Baking Soda
• Salt
• Butter: If using salted butter, skip the added salt.
• Yogurt
• Egg: Bring the egg to room temperature for easier blending and a more consistent batter. To quickly bring an egg to room temperature, you can place it in a cup of warm water for about 5-10 minutes.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract adds a lovely flavor. You can try swapping half the vanilla for ¼ teaspoon almond extract.
• Rhubarb: Choose firm, brightly colored red rhubarb stalks, avoiding green ones for the best flavor.
• Strawberries
• Streusel Topping: You can leave this off in a pinch, but it adds a delicious crunch!
