    Whole-grain muffins made with oat flour and bursting with cinnamon and rhubarb for an easy breakfast treat. Gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free.

    Cinnamon Rhubarb Muffins (gluten-free, dairy-free) | saltedplains.comWhen rhubarb starts popping up at the markets, I've decided it's a foolproof way of knowing spring is here to stay. Although the weather here has basically confirmed this, as I drove home today it seemed like everything outside was radiating green—bright and beautiful trees with glimmering green buds and grass that seemed to shimmer.

    Welcome spring, indeed.

    Muffins are a breakfast treat I don't make often enough. When I do, I try to pack them with as much whole-grain goodness as possible. These cinnamon rhubarb muffins live up to that claim.

    Made mostly with gluten-free oat flour and a bit of arrowroot starch, these muffins are high-fiber and loaded with protein and nutrients.

    Don't forget the rhubarb.

        Hopefully it does soon! Although, I feel like the weather reverted back to winter this week - hope it was warmer for you!
