What a pleasure it is to set out a basket of these rhubarb muffins...although the basket doesn't stay full for very long! I have six children and two grandsons, so I do a lot of baking. The snacks are based on a coffee cake recipe.

I would recommend doubling the streusel topping! Very tasty, but my muffins fell and were too dense.

DD and grandkids are coming for the week-end, and my rhubarb will be ready to pick. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I copied it and will be making muffins this week-end.
