These Brown Sugar and Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins are kind of in between muffins. They are not super sweet like cupcakes, but can definitely be eaten as an after dinner snack situation, and fulfill your need for something a little sweet. The strawberries balance out the tartness that you get from the rhubarb. I think these are actually better for a breakfast on the go type scenario, but I also ate them as a dessert thing. So they are really good for either. Which is perfect because if you make a batch, they are good to eat for more than one meal! YAY! Happy Monday!
