Rhubarb muffins

These are not out of the oven yet, but smell so good!
I found this recipe on cdkitchen.com My version is in parentheses.

1 1/2 c brown sugar (1 cup)
1 c buttermilk (1/2 c nonfat sour cream + 1/2 c 1% milk)
3 1/2 Tbsp oil (3 Tbsp applesauce + 1 T oil)
1 egg
2 1/2 c flour (1 1/4 c flour +1 1/4 c wholewheat flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
2 c finely diced rhubarb


Top with cinnamon and sugar before baking in a 375 oven for 15-20 minutes.

nutritional analysis:as written for 12 muffins: 287 calories, 9 grams of fat, 47 g carbs, 5 g protein

My variation for 16 muffings: calories 146, 1.6 g fat, 35 g carbs, 19 g sugars, 4 g protein


Out of the oven - they are a little tart, but still good. They are high in sugar, but I cannot justify adding more.
