Rhubarb Walnut Muffins

Rhubarb.  It’s the first taste that summer is almost here on the prairies.  These Rhubarb Walnut Muffins are a family favourite that can be made regular size, mini or into a delicious moist loaf.  Best served with coffee or enjoyed as a snack on the go.  No matter where I take them I’m always asked for the recipe.
