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!

I see that I am asking about an older post but still…Can this recipe be made as a quick bread in a loaf pan?
Sorry Kirtin, we did not test this recipe to work in a load pan, however we think it might work fine – you will just have to keep an eye on it and adjust the cooking times.
Making these today!! Would a regular sized muffin tin work?!
Yes they would!…I would just fill them about 1/2 way
I love that you used Greek yogurt. Yum!
