Strawberry Rhubarb Bran Muffins

This week’s recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Bran Muffins is a novel variation on a bran muffin.  I have been baking this version for eons and it never fails to get compliments.  These muffins are delicious for breakfast, brunch, with coffee, or afternoon tea.  The recipe appeared years ago in a complimentary magazine that was mailed to Canadians, called “Recipes Only”. It is quick and easy to make, and if you freeze the muffins, you only need to pop one in the microwave for a few seconds to reheat at a later date.

Be prepared for your senses to be stimulated by the most mouth watering aroma.  Brew a cuppa and enjoy warm.
