It’s time for a fruity delicious muffin recipe here on veggies, don’t you think?! As it’s rhubarb season right now let’s try some tasty rhubarb muffins with coconut and orange glaze. Because muffins are always awesome as they are quickly made and just the right size for a little sweet snack in between. You only need 15 minutes working time for this dough. Just put all the ingredients except the rhubarb in a bowl, stir a creamy dough and then fold chopped rhubarb under. After 25 minutes of baking, you can already enjoy the warm sweet mini-cakes. Since muffins are so easy to prepare, I bake them quite often when I’m craving sweets in the evening or after a long working day. So, go get your mixing bowl and enjoy this spring dessert. Rhubarb is indeed the harbinger for this probably most beautiful time of the year and that is right in front of us. Jippieh! Sincerely your Lea
