    I used frozen rhubarb. Not my best muffins. The batter was obviously too wet, and the muffins were so hard to take out of the pans…even sprayed with Pam. Not sure I will try these again. Sorry.

      Sorry that this didn’t work for you. I chop my rhubarb in small pieces and freeze it in pre-measured bags, and I have never had any trouble using frozen. If the rhubarb has been in the freezer longer than one season, then yes, much of the juice will come out of the fruit and may change the texture of the batter. My advice is to use fresh for best results, or frozen – not more than 6 months in the freezer.

      I haven’t tried using any gluten free flour with any of my traditional recipes. Gluten free baked goods tend to be heavy, and I would be afraid that it would affect the baking time as well as the texture of the muffins. If you have a good gluten-free muffin recipe that you use, I would suggest just to add the grated orange rind and the chopped rhubarb to it.

        I use an all purpose gluten free flour but add a little more liquid and a little more baking powder. Be sure it has a binder like xanthan gum in your flour.

    Hi Dawn,

    Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving such a thoughtful comment. I love love love what you are doing here! It will be such a great legacy for your family. My nana (my mom’s mom) was one of my favorite people in the world and I cherish the small collection of her handwritten recipe cards I inherited. These rhubarb muffins look delicious. Whenever I hear rhubarb I think of her. She loved to stew some up every spring.

      Thanks Martha. Yes, many of these recipes bring back such wonderful memories of both my Mom’s and my Nana’s kitchen. Nana was such a big part of my life, and now that I am the Nana, I just hope that I can give my grandkids the same kind of loving memories to cherish as I have of my Nana and my Mom. The smell of baking is such a powerful memory trigger! I love your site too, and look forward to trying many of your recipes.
