Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins

When strawberries and rhubarb arrived in my CSA (community supported agriculture) share this week, my mind went wild with possibilities. These scrumptious muffins are a spin-off of my popular Apple Cinnamon Muffins and are a true tribute to summer. They are made with almond flour as a base which is loaded with protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. They are good anytime of day (including breakfast) and are perfect for those on a gluten free diet. Give them a try– you won’t be sorry!
