There is something special about rhubarb.
It’s one of the first things you see growing after a long winter in Minnesota, so it almost represents the beginning of a beautiful spring/summer.
And it’s so season-specific, and this is the only time you see it fresh, which makes this extra special.
Also, I love that my mother-in-law and I can spend time together in her backyard for havesting.
So when I got my this year’s first rhubarb from my mother-in-law’s backyard, I made it into jam.
It’s been fun to use the jam in different things, but this time I decided to add it to brownies.
It may sound strange, but the tartness from the rhubarb was great in these fudgy brownies.
I used this recipe as the base.

I liked to bake mine for about 35 minutes (I tend to like “chewy” better vs. “fudgy” texture).
I thought it was a bit too sweet, but everyone else loved it.
My other favorite vegan brownies recipe is this one.

Rhubarb has begun appearing at the local farmers market as well.
