  • With a mixing spoon, in large bowl, combine oil, greek yogurt, agave, orange juice, orange zest, applesauce, eggs and vanilla extract, then add baking soda and stir. (it will foam up a little - it's meant to)
  • Stir two types of flours, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  • Spoon muffin batter into muffin liners, dividing evenly by 18.
  • Sprinkle with sparkling sugar or course sugar on top of the muffins, dividing evenly by 18. (* or you can do this after they are baked)
  • Bake on middle rack for about 18 minutes (or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.) *Rotate the muffins in the middle of the baking time for best results.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then move to cooling rack and cool for another 5 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
