Rhubarb muffins

The method

1

Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin, or line it with cupcake cases.

2

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Then whisk together the wet ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Take the rhubarb and the walnuts and toss them in the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix them together with a few swift strokes using a large silicone spatula. Don't overmix! Stop as soon as you see no dry flour.

3

Divide the batter among the muffin cases. They will be filled to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 220°C, then reduce the heat to 190°C and bake for 11-13 minutes more, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins rest for 2-3 minutes in the tin, then remove them onto a cooling rack. 

Enjoy!
