Banana Rhubarb Mini Muffins

Rhubarb!!!  Since rhubarb season is fairly short, we need to buy and eat as much possible!

After I made Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, I just couldn’t get enough – so today I’m sharing Banana Rhubarb Mini Muffins. Which would probably be pretty delightful topped with a slather of the Jam, if you ask me 😉

There’s no such thing as rhubarb overload in my books!

Mini muffins are the cutest – everything is just so much better in mini form, isn’t it?! I’ve paired Rhubarb with classic banana for these muffins – please tell me I’m not the only one who has brown bananas stashed in their freezer!

These little guys are a cinch to whip up. I like to use whole wheat flour, but you could easily use all-purpose, if you’d rather.

On another note – aren’t those purple flowers so pretty? They’re from our chive plant, which decided to flower – and I just couldn’t bring myself to cut off the flowers. Apparently herbs taste bitter once they go to flower – but it’s a small sacrifice for such a pretty bloom. Now I have them in a vase on our kitchen table.

Have a great week!
