I have made this recipe twice now and will definitely make these again. I made them first with half whole wheat, half all-purpose flour. The second time, I did the same half/half flour combination - and also did 1/2 cup drained diced canned peaches with 1/2 cup rhubarb, and used 1/4 cup sparkling water instead of an egg. They were delicious both times! Yummy light texture, nice sweet taste with pops of tartness from the rhubarb.
This recipe is super tasty! I used whole wheat flour. The rhubarb was just the right amount of sweet, and I made mini muffins and cooked them for 11 min.
