Ingredients
    batter
    1/2 cup milk, 1%
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
    2 egg whites
    1 orange, Juices and zest
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    2 cups rhubarb, chopped
    crumb topping
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation
    Pre heat oven to 350.
    Sift together the baking powder, salt, both flours and cinnamon and set aside.
    In a bowl, mix milk and lemon juice (to make the equivalent of butter milk).
    Add apple sauce, sugars egg whites orange juice and zest and vanilla, mixing well with a wooden spoon, until sugars are dissolved.
    Add dry mixture, mixing well but do not over mix.
    Add Rhubarb, mixing until combined.
    Place batter in a paper lined muffin tin.
    Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping over the muffins if you chose to use the topping.
    Bake for 20 - 30 minutes depending on your oven (it takes almost 30 minutes in my oven).The tops should be a warm brown and slightly \"crispy\" on top. Because of all the moisture inside the muffin, you may have to bake slightly longer than normal.
    Let muffins cool completely.
    Enjoy!
