Tips for a Great Muffin

When adding the rhubarb, you can just add fresh chopped rhubarb. But I like to chop it up and add it to a sauce pan with a teaspoon or two of water and a tablespoon or so of sugar. I cook it down for a few minutes so that it is softer going into the muffins.
If you would rather not have rhubarb, that works too. Omit it and double the amount of fresh chopped strawberries.
You can use sourdough discard or active sourdough in this recipe.
I use my favorite muffin tins from USA Pans
The muffin liners are new to me and I loved using them. I found them here.
