Ingredients

  • Rolled oat flour – a great alternative to all-purpose flour. You can purchase oat flour here (opens in a new tab) or simply make your own by blending rolled oats!
  • Baking powder – to help the muffins rise.
  • Flax seeds & chia seeds – for an extra nutritional boost!
  • Eggs – to help bind the ingredients and help the muffins rise.
  • Almond butter – gives these rhubarb muffins a delicious and creamy texture. We love this almond butter! (opens in a new tab)
  • Banana & dates – to naturally sweeten and help bind everything together.
  • Vanilla & cinnamon – delicious natural sweeteners.
  • Rhubarb – we used fresh rhubarb in this recipe.
  • Coconut sugar – raw sugar or brown sugar also work great!

What Kind of Rhubarb Should I Use?

For this recipe, we used fresh rhubarb. However, frozen (opens in a new tab) or dried rhubarb (opens in a new tab) would work great, too!

This recipe is a variation of the Blueberry Bread recipe, so be sure to check that recipe out and the Pumpkin Muffins recipe for more of these delicious muffin and bread variations!

    I can’t have bananas… can I just leave it out or do you have a suggestion for replacement?

    1. Christine McMichael

      Hi Amy! Unfortunately, I haven’t tried this recipe without banana and with baking, it just really needs to be tested out. My thought would be to try applesauce, but I haven’t actually tried that yet.

  2. janey

    This was a wonderful recipe incorporating healthy foods and not a ton of sugar. Thank you so much for sharing it.

  3. Teresa

    Great recipe for delicious muffins. I don’t have a food processor, used chopped dates, threw everything in the mixed (minus the rhubarb) and they turned out so well! Will definitely make again – thank you!

  4. Diane

    Just made these amazing rhubarb muffins….using flax seed and water instead of the eggs. LOVE them! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Newer to the non-dairy and eggs baking. Exciting to find a great recipe!!!

  5. Carla

    Just a question- when you say blend dates does that mean in a food processor- do you have to soak them first as well?

    1. Christine McMichael

      Yes, a food processor or even a blender works great. It helps to soak the dates for a smoother texture, but it’s not required. Enjoy the recipe!
