I used almond and it turned out great) and let it sit for about ten minutes. You should end up with a clumpy sour milk mixture.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cinnamon Sugar Topping<\/b><br \/>\n1\/4 cup&nbsp;brown sugar, packed<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp cinnamon<\/p>\n<p><b>Directions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees&nbsp;Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).<\/li>\n<li>Lightly grease your muffin cups<\/li>\n<li>Combine the&nbsp;flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients for the batter.<\/li>\n<li>Add the dry ingredients, to the large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly just until moistened. (not too much or else your muffins will be like bricks).<\/li>\n<li>Spoon into muffin cups until about 3\/4 full, crumble cinnamon sugar on top and put the pan in the oven.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops are firm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/5759920098\/\" title=\"Rhubarb Strawberry muffins by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2340\/5759920098_6db25f63ed.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Rhubarb Strawberry muffins\"><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nI made bigger muffins, so the baking process was slightly different. I kept the muffins in for around 45 minutes, so if you make 6 big muffins instead of 12, don&#8217;t be surprised if it takes a while for the muffins to finish baking.<br \/>\nThese make an excellent breakfast or pre-breakfast snack, some alterations I was thinking about but didn&#8217;t end up doing: Adding a little bit of fresh chopped ginger to the mix or replacing half the sugar with maple syrup and adjusting the milk balance. Maybe next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to decide what to do with the rhubarb we picked up last week.
