Made these this morning, and wow! I’ve made a lot of different rhubarb recipes over the years, and I’m happy to say this is one of the very best! The muffins are light and bursting with fresh flavor. Even my hubby said they were great...adding this recipe to my favorites. Thanks for another winner, TOH!

Very good! I froze most of them and then thawed them out as needed and they were just as good, plus the topping stayed crunchy.
