Ingredients

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line muffin trays with 16 parchment or silicone liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
5. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared liners, filling each until it just pokes over the top of the pan.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Once baked to perfection, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
