Eggless Rhubarb Muffins Recipe with Rhubarb syrup

Eggless rhubarb muffins are extremely moist, egg free and butter free. These muffins are topped with homemade rhubarb syrup to add extra moisture. In one word these are absolute divine beauties.

Rhubarb is seasonal fruit which comes in spring time only. I have had rhubarb in many recipes but din’t post any. So I took  opportunity and made these rhubarb muffins.

In this recipe I have made some substitution to suit my palate. I have replaced the butter with coconut oil. And in place of eggs I have used greek yogurt. You may use chia egg, applesauce or flax egg instead.

These moist eggless rhubarb muffins are perfect example of how beautifully sweetness paired with the tartness of rhubarb. My family loved them wholeheartedly. From this recipe you would get 6 delicious muffins and I bet that they will be finish immediately just like mine.

I love cardamom and in Indian cuisine it’s a must spice which we Indians use it on regular basis. Generally I use cardamom in Indian desserts recipes but I read some where that cardamom pairs with rhubarb very well. So I added a just hint and flavour which came out was delectable.
