Follow this recipe to bake moist, fluffy rhubarb muffins balanced with a sweet cinnamon sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1/2 inch pieces)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • For the Topping: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb pieces.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping mixture evenly over the top of the batter in each cup.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If your rhubarb is very tart, you can toss it with 1 tablespoon of sugar before adding it to the batter.
  • For a slightly different flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter with the rhubarb.
  • For extra moist muffins, do not overmix the batter after adding the wet ingredients to the dry.
