Millet Rhubarb Muffins
This past Thursday, as Maeve and I were busy clicking away on our matching keyboards getting the final details sorted for the very best online cooking program that ever existed (intention is what makes things happen, right?), I decided it was time to let my hair down (or actually tie it back), throw off my spectacles, tie on an apron and get mixing and maxing out with a brand new recipe. Β It had a been a while and we knew there would be some long days involved. I decided making millet rhubarb muffins was the perfect thing.
I used rhubarb I had picked up at the market last week and millet flour – this being the very first time I have ever used millet flour – and baked us some sweet muffins that we couldn’t wait to dive into.
Anyway – I am going to sit back and enjoy my millet rhubarb muffin, and sip on a cup of my most favourite tea.

Hi Meghan, I have a question about almond meal. I’m eager to try this recipe, but have a nut allergy in the family. Can I sub with oat flour or more of the other gluten-free flours in the recipe? And is that something I can do in general, in the future? Thank you for your advice.
Love this recipe! Wondering if I can reduce the maple syrup though and if so, how I would adjust the other ingredients? Thank you!
We made these with strawberries and left out the cinnamon and nutmeg. We also used rice syrup instead of maple syrup. They turned out delicious!

I hope to shake your hand one day. Be encouraged. We need you. Thank you!
Can I make my own Miller flour in a food processor. I have millet, but other than your quiche and cauliflower mash I donβt know what to do with it!
