I would rate this a 4star.. Everyone enjoyed them; but all including myself thought that there was a baking powder taste to them like in a biscuit. Should there be 1 tablespoon of baking powder or is this an error
Very Disapointing. 1 Nothing special about muffins.- actually little taste, rather blah! No evidence of strawberries in batter- only a pinkish hue and litle trace of rubarb. 2. Best part was the sugar coating the top. 3. Mine were not "delicious" or Gone. Many left over from the group they were served to --will not make again.
Thanks for contacting us about this muffin recipe. We have reviewed and re-tested the recipe and have increased the amount of fruit to 1 cup strawberries and 1 cup rhubarb in the mixture.
The first time I made these muffins they were not very good. Just bland. I decided that I must have cut up the fruit too small. So, I tried making them a second time and sprinkled brown sugar on the fruit and cut the fruit into larger pieces. Oh, and the second time I also pretty much doubled the strawberry. I would definitely recommend at least 1 cup of rhubarb and 1 cup strawberry, if not more. They were better the second time, but still not great. Just still kind of bland. It might need vanilla extract or lemon juice or something else to add a little more flavor. I added 1/4th of a cup of whole wheat flour the second time too, trying to add more flavor. i will eat them all, they're "good" but they aren't great on the flavor factor. I bet kids would like them though. :)
Question?? TIP says adjust bake time if using frozen fruit, so do we ADD 15-22 min more or SHORTEN the time to that amount? Seems to me if using frozen fruit, you would need to bake it longer, but almost double???
If using frozen fruit since it may be juicier the recipe will need to be baked longer, possibly 10 - 15 minutes longer. You will need to check them so the muffins do not get too brown.
