Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease a muffin tin or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and powder and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, maple syrup, non-dairy milk and melted coconut oil.** Add the strawberries and rhubarb to this mixture and combine.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients. Stir until combined.

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
*These muffins can be made gluten-free with oat, buckwheat or brown rice flour. My fave is half buckwheat and half oat flour. If you change the flour you may need to add more liquid. I doubled the liquid with the GF flours I used.
**Or 2 flax eggs. 1 flax egg = 1 tbsp ground flax + 4 tbsp water. Let sit until egg-like, about 5 minutes.
**Let coconut oil cool slightly before combining otherwise it will cook the egg in the recipe.
