Berry Rhubarb Muffins

  •  2 3/4 c flour (I use GF 1-1 flour)
  • 1 c brown sugar (I like to use a combination of monk fruit sweeter, brown sugar, and maple syrup)
  • 2 1/2 t baking powder
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 c buttermilk (I used mostly yogurt with some milk)
  • 1/2 c canola oil
  • 2 t vanilla
  • 1 c berries (i used raspberries, strawberries also good)
  • 1c rhubarb, diced (I used fresh but frozen it said will work)
  • pecans (mix in or put on top)
1. Combine ingredients. Grease and fill muffin cups 2/3 full. 

2. Original says to mix 1/2 c pecans with 1/3 c brown sugar, 1/2 t cinnamon and 1 T cold butter and sprinkle on top. I don't think the extra sugar is necessary, so I just put pecans on top. 

3. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. (I turned down to 350 halfway through and I would try just starting at 375 or 350 next time).
