Notes

Wash, trim, and dice rhubarb into small pieces for even cooking and flavor distribution., Plain Greek yogurt is preferred, but plain regular yogurt can be used for a less thick texture., Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months., If a sweeter muffin is desired, increase sugar slightly., Try mix-ins such as nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for variation., For dairy-free option, use non-dairy yogurt and neutral oil instead of butter, and flax or chia egg instead of egg., To avoid dense muffins, fold dry and wet ingredients gently and just until combined.
