Ingredients
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
.25 tsp. baking soda
dash tsp. salt
1 egg white
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. unsweetened applesauce (or strawberry applesauce if available)
1/3 to 1/2 cup orange juice (as needed)
3/4 cup rhubarb chunks
2 tbsp. chopped almonds
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line or grease a muffin pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined.
3. In another bowl, add the egg white, oil, applesauce, orange juice and almond extract. Beat until smooth with an electric mixer or by hand. Add to the flour mixture and blend just until moistened but lumpy. Stir in the rhubarb.
4. Spoon the batter into 6 muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the chopped almonds onto each muffin and bake until springy to the touch, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
