Rhubarb Oatmeal Muffins

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 1 dozen.
A crisp oatmeal topping adds a different twist to these spring favorites from Diane Gagnon-Fee of Tupper Lake, New York. "Friends with a big rhubarb patch often share their bounty with us," she says. "But you can use frozen rhubarb with the same tasty results."
