Rhubarb Loaf: A Simple Recipe for a Sweet Summer Treat
Hello, fellow budget-friendly bakers! If you’ve been following along with my recent posts, you might have noticed a trend. Yes, I’m writing a lot about rhubarb right now.
How can I not, with all this bounty of free rhubarb coming my way? When life gives you rhubarb, you bake with it! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful rhubarb loaf recipe that’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a midday snack.
Rhubarb is one of those wonderfully versatile ingredients that can be used in so many different ways. Whether it’s a classic rhubarb pie, a tangy rhubarb chutney, or a refreshing rhubarb lemonade, the possibilities are endless.
With its tart flavor and vibrant color, rhubarb adds a unique twist to both sweet and savory dishes.
Budget Friendly Rhubarb Loaf Recipe
During rhubarb season, I use as much fresh rhubarb as I can get my hands on. There’s something so satisfying about picking those thick, red stalks and knowing they’ll soon be transformed into something delicious.
But even the most enthusiastic baker can only use so much rhubarb at once. That’s why I always make sure to chop up the extra and freeze it for later use.
Freezing rhubarb is incredibly easy. Simply wash the stalks, chop them into bite-sized pieces (about 1/4 inch), and pop them into a freezer bag for longer storage.
Sometimes, I’ll cook the rhubarb down before freezing it, which helps save space and makes it super convenient for making rhubarb jam or strawberry rhubarb jam later in the year.
