Description

These Rhubarb Muffins are tender, slightly tangy, and perfectly sweet, with a bit of tartness from the rhubarb that adds a unique twist to the classic muffin.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped (fresh or frozen)

 

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Add Rhubarb:

    • Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin:

    • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired, for a little extra crunch.
  7. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you’re using frozen rhubarb, make sure to thaw and drain it first to prevent excess moisture in the batter.

 

  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
