Orange Rhubarb Muffins

Based on the possibility that honey is a healthier alternative to sugar, and a need to end my sugar addiction, I have tried my hand at screwing with baked goods for the first time ever. I am pleased to report the experiment was pretty much a success! The muffins are "not really sweet...sort of like biscuits" according to my taster. "But I like it," he said. I like them too; though I might add a 1/2 cup of stewed rhubarb, orange pulp or apple sauce to moisten them a bit more, and maybe another 1/4 cup of honey too. Here's a pic of the first batch.

2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup honey
4 tsp grated orange rind
1 1/4 cup orange juice
2 1/2 cups fine chopped rhubarb
