¼cupbrown sugar

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F and spray each muffin cup in a standard-sized muffin pan with Pam or line each cup with cupcake/muffin liners.
Melt ½ cup unsalted butter and set aside to cool.
Rinse rhubarb and slice a large stem in half lengthwise, then dice into ½ inch cubes. Rinse blueberries and drain.
Combine Muffin Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, plain Greek yogurt and eggs. Add the melted butter and stir.
Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Gently stir in the rhubarb and blueberries. Use a tablespoon to scoop the muffin batter and fill each muffin cup until it's nearly full. But be careful not to overfill. Set aside while you make the topping.
Topping Instructions
Soften 4 tablespoons of butter and blend in the brown sugar and flour, stir well to create a streusel topping. The consistency will be very thick.
Add one to two teaspoons of topping on the top of each muffin. This isn't an overly sweet muffin, so the more topping you add, the sweeter and crunchier the muffin top will be.
Place a few blueberries and one or two small slices of rhubarb on the top of each muffin and press lightly so each piece nestles into the sugar and flour mixture.
Bake
Bake for 14 - 18 minutes or until the muffins have puffed up slightly in the center and are lightly browned at the edges. Be careful not to over bake. Note: If you are making mini-muffins the baking time will be considerably shorter. Check the mini-muffins at 10 minutes.
Notes
Remember to add the melted butter to the plain yogurt, sugar and eggs. It's easy to forget that step because the melted butter is set aside and cooled in a small bowl.
