    Very moist and flavorful. I used skim milk/white vinegar instead of buttermilk. My kids think these healthy muffins are a "treat!" - 7/27/10

    These are great! Had a great texture, very moist and muffin-y. I baked these in a 9x13 and they were perfect. I also subed low-fat yogurt for buttermilk. - 4/15/10

    These are delicious muffins! I made them in 18 tins so mine are slightly bigger and I made a couple of substitutions:
    -- used 1% milk plus 2TBSP fresh lemon juice to make the buttermilk (just let it sit for five minutes before using)
    -- used melted butter for the oil
    Perfectly sweet tart muffins!

    I made these muffins, but used white flour and milk with vinegar. I cut the brown sugar down to 1/2 cup. These muffins were moist and really tasty. Next time I make them I will try to have buttermilk and see how different they will be. With my changes, they were great. - 10/6/17

    I'm not sure what was used to make 24 muffins, but I used a regular 12 muffin tin, and had enough left to make my DH 2 larger muffins. They were good & moist. I followed the recipe given, but may add more rhubarb the next time. Definitely will make again. - 6/4/14

    I really liked the flavor, but for some reason the muffins really stuck to the wrappers when it came time to eat them. Anyone know what I did wrong? - 7/17/11

    Very good, although they did stick to the muffin wrappers more than I would have liked. How do you fix that? I wonder how they would taste if I added some chopped strawberries. - 5/18/11

    Spray the wrappers with nonstick spray.

    Finally---a recipe that has healthy whole wheat flour. Today is "Bake and Take Day" sponsored by the South Dakota Wheat Commission. This is a recipe that uses lots of South Dakota produced products---a great choice for me to make today to share with my neighbors. I decreased the sugar by half.

    Used Brown sugar Twin, comes in a box, worked out well, but cut that rhubarb small so it is not raw.Eat them fast, the flour makes them hard as rocks quickly! - 3/21/19

    I came across this recipe earlier, but as rhubarb isn't a regular item at home was hesitant. Store had sale on rhubarb and decided to give it a try. NIICE! Sweet but not too sweet, moist and healthy. I may become a fan of rhubarb. Thx! - 11/11/18

    Fantastically delicious!! Rhubarb is my favorite. I'll eat it raw or dip in some sugar and munch on it. Now, these muffins would be even better if you add strawberries in and have strawberry rhubarb muffins!! Yummmmm!! - 6/10/18

    Oh how we love rhubarb!! This is very similar to the recipe I have used for yrs except the flour. Add a little strawberry with the rhubarb and it's a wonderful treat. The buttermilk also comes as a powder that you can keep in the frig forever, mixing just what you need. Adds smoothness to the muffin - 3/21/18
