Rhubarb Muffins with Crumble Topping

We have been blessed with another year of fantastic rhubarb.

Last year, I made rhubarb cake (twice), gave some of the rhubarb to my grandma and saved the rest.

5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.

6. Place the muffin batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups and top each with the crumble topping. (Directions below.)
