Description

These moist and tender rhubarb muffins are slightly tart, lightly sweetened, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a springtime snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream for buttermilk.
  • Frozen rhubarb works too – thaw and drain before using.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months.
