These muffins were easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen rhubarb and they still had a nice tart flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

These muffins were absolutely delicious! The rhubarb and lemon flavors were perfectly balanced, and the muffins were moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
