Rhubarb is one of those veggies that I rarely cook with, not because I don’t like it, I just never think to try it. To be honest, I think the only time I’ve had rhubarb is in my mom’s strawberry rhubarb pie. So when my boss gave me a big bag of it I was a little hesitant because I wasn’t sure if I would use it all!
The first thing I made with it was strawberry rhubarb chia seed jam. It’s so good and takes no time to whip up. It’s great on toast, in yogurt or even on ice cream – yumm!
Next up was this recipe. I knew I wanted to make a low-carb muffin and these turned out delicious. When baking with low-carb flours, I find it hard to get an end product that is moist and not dry or crumbly. These muffins definitely deliver! If you don’t have rhubarb on hand, feel free to substitute with your favourite fruit.
These are the perfect low-carb, low-sugar snack to go!
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup xylitol
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla

- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon

- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
- Stir in rhubarb and strawberries.
- Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, fill the 12 muffin liners.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy!

I LOVE RHUBARB. 🙂 Looks yummy!
Thanks!! It’s awesome in muffins 🙂
Woow these look delicious! I like the tiny pieces of rhubarb and strawberry, looks yum!
Thanks Sophie!
These look totally yummy!! Can you sub regular flour and sugar? Any differences in amounts to use? Thanks so much!!
Thanks Judy! This recipe uses low-carb flours so I’m not sure what the conversion would be for regular flour. You can sub regular sugar for xylitol though 😉
What are the conventions for if you used almond flour or gluten free flour vs a coconut almond flour mix?
Coconut flour is usually drier so you may need less. Not exactly sure of the coversion though.
