Tart, sweet and moreish vegan muffins with rhubarb and ginger. Perfect for a Mother's Day treat.
Rhubarb season is here! I adore rhubarb but it's only around for a short space of time so we've got to make the most of it and I've got just the recipe to do that...
These rhubarb & ginger muffins are so flavourful and comforting, I think they would make the perfect Mother's Day bake.
Plus, as always, they are completely vegan, dairy-free and egg-free so great for many dietary needs.
