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!
