<p>This recipe works well with many fruits and berries.  A great tip is to dust the fruits with two tablespoons of the dry ingredients before folding in at the end…</p>
<p>Preheat oven to 350<br />
Dice 1 1/2 cups of rhubarb</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://e-presscenter.com/mrswages/2011/05/rhubarb-muffins/rhubarb-muffins/" rel="attachment wp-att-285"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-285" style="border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid; margin: 5px;" title="Rhubarb-Muffins" src="http://e-presscenter.com/mrswages/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Rhubarb-Muffins.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Dry Ingredients</strong><br />
3 cups flour<br />
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1 teaspoon nutmeg</p>
<p><strong>Wet Ingredients</strong><br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla<br />
2 eggs (beaten)<br />
1 1/2 cups milk<br />
6 tablespoons melted butter</p>
<p><strong>Crumb Topping</strong><br />
1/2 cup melted butter<br />
1 cup flour<br />
1 cup oats<br />
1 cup brown sugar<br />
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
(Combine all in separate bowl. Top muffin batter. Freeze extra.)</p>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Combine dry ingredients in large bowl, whisk to sift together.</li>
<li>In separate bowl, combine wet ingredients. Whisk to combine.</li>
<li>Dust 1 1/2 cups of diced rhubarb with 2 tablespoons of dry ingredients.</li>
<li>Make a well in middle of dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well.</li>
<li>Using a rubber spatula, fold the ingredients together, just until starts to incorporate. Do not over mix.</li>
<li>Sprinkle rhubarb  or fruit over the top and continue to fold until flour is incorporated. Mixture will still be lumpy.</li>
<li>Let rest 5 minutes.  Then scoop into paper-lined muffin cups to 2/3 full.</li>
<li>Top with crumb topping or cinnamon sugar.</li>
</ol>
<p>Bake 350 for 15 minutes.</p>
