These rhubarb muffins offer a perfect balance of tart rhubarb and sweet cinnamon sugar, creating a moist, fluffy texture that's perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup rhubarb, chopped

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

½ cup milk

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Sprinkle a layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top, then add more batter to fill the cup. Finish with an extra sprinkle of the cinnamon sugar on top.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • To make dairy-free muffins, use dairy-free butter and almond milk.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week.
  • To freeze, let muffins cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
