Homemade Vegan Rhubarb Ginger Muffins

These homemade vegan rhubarb ginger muffins (Wallflower Kitchen) are the ultimate ‘peaceful empowerment recipe’. When did England become a country made around giant store-bought American-style chocolate chip muffins? This is a far more homegrown snack, that you can make yourself instead!

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (rhubarb and spices like nutmeg are near animal friends).

Just bin rhubarb scraps (the acids could harm compost creatures).

Your grandmother would have recognised these ingredients, and your granddad would likely have grown the rhubarb! It uses flour, brown sugar, ginger and oil, along with some ‘new’ ingredients like plant milk and apple cider vinegar. Plus of course plenty of chopped rhubarb.

Nearly all of England’s rhubarb is grown in the Yorkshire Triangle, an area known for producing the best  crops,  due to unique growing conditions. Years ago, there was even a ‘rhubarb train’ that would send it down to London’s Covent Garden! You must always cook rhubarb, it can’t be eaten raw.
