Rhubarb Muffins

Cocina_del_fuego's Note:

Got this from a friend and followed her recipe exactly except I used wheat flour instead of white flour. And I left out the 1/2 cup optional chopped walnuts or pecans. Could probably use other fruit when rhubarb not in season. Makes 12 delicious, moist muffins.
