Rhubarb Muffins [vegan]

The sharpness of rhubarb is offset by the sweetness of the overripe bananas and the warmth of ginger spice.

Start your day with one of these deliciously fruity vegan rhubarb muffins.

The sharpness of rhubarb is offset by the sweetness of the overripe bananas and the warmth of ginger spice.

Besides breakfast, you can also serve these muffins for desserts or as a snack. They are also a delicious treat for lunch boxes.

I love making these as soon as the first pink forced rhubarb is available. There is also a batch made in the Summer when we harvest the last of our homegrown rhubarb. This is also a great recipe to make use of any bananas that are past their best. You will find more ideas on how to use overripe bananas here.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
