Rhubarb and orange muffins

Pudding & Cake Serves 12 50 min

These easy-to-make muffins are moist and not overly sweet, hefty but not heavy. They're great as a fruity snack, or for breakfast if you tone down the sugar a little and replace 100g of the plain flour for whole wheat. Try with cinnamon, or with apple substituted for some of the rhubarb.
