Preparation

Step 1

1. Pre heat oven to 350.
2. Sift together the baking powder, salt, both flours and cinnamon and set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix milk and lemon juice (to make the equivalent of butter milk).
4. Add apple sauce, sugars egg whites orange juice and zest and vanilla, mixing well with a wooden spoon, until sugars are dissolved.
5. Add dry mixture, mixing well but do not over mix.
6. Add Rhubarb, mixing until combined.
7. Place batter in a paper lined muffin tin.
8. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping over the muffins if you chose to use the topping.
9. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes depending on your oven (it takes almost 30 minutes in my oven).The tops should be a warm brown and slightly "crispy" on top. Because of all the moisture inside the muffin, you may have to bake slightly longer than normal.
10. Let muffins cool completely.
11. Enjoy!
