Spring is the season for strawberries and rhubarb
It's past May long weekend and that means gardening season is in full swing. I've got many of my summer season seeds and starters in and am now picking lots of herbs (hello cilantro, parsley, mint and a small bit of volunteer dill!) in addition to my rhubarb.

Strawberries are in season and if you've got strawberries too, you should try my Ultimate Strawberry Rhubarb Shortcake or my Rhubarb Snack Cake too! Or for breakfast, Easy Strawberry, Blackberry, Banana Smoothie. For something savory, try my Strawberry Salad Dressing.
Fast and easy baking project
I don't bake too often because I find it can be fussy, messy and I have to be exact but muffins are much more forgiving and also very fast. The only dishes I have after making these are a bowl, a 2 cup measuring cup, a tablespoon, fork and my measuring spoons, all of which I can happily plunk into the dishwasher.

Recipe
Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 c Unbleached Flour
- 1 c Quick Oats
- ⅔ c Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Table Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 c Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
- ¼ c Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 c Strawberries chopped into ¼ inch pieces
- 1 c Rhubarb chopped into ¼ inch pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375'.
- Stir all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- In a 2 cup measuring cup, add the eggs and beat until lightly frothy (this should be approx. ½ c volume) then add the yogurt, oil and vanilla and stir until mixed.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until well mixed together. Let this sit and soften the oats while you chop the strawberries and rhubarb.
- Line a 12 cup muffin tin with liners. Stir in the chopped strawberries and rhubarb into the batter and then spoon into the muffin cups. These will be quite full, that's ok. Put the muffins into the oven and bake 22-28 min (my batches took 25 minutes).
- When done, test with a toothpick, it should come out dry. The muffins will be lightly browned on some edges but not brown all over.

These look delicious! If I don’t use steal cut oats, what would you replace them with? Thanks!
SabCurrie
Hi and thanks Ashli!
You can use ANY oats! Turns out quick oats work as well as steel cut and give a finer texture.
Ashli
Thank you!

I used Demerara sugar and 2c of rhubarb instead of the strawberries. Can’t wait to try other fruits and berries! I used parchment paper squares… looks so nice! Taste amazing!
