  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 24 muffins

Ingredients

– 3/4 cup granulated sugar

– 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

– 1/2 cup vegetable oil

– 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute: 1 tablespoon white vinegar + enough milk to total 1 cup)

– 1 large egg

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– 3 cups diced rhubarb (1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces)

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar for topping

– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping

– 1 tablespoon softened butter for topping

Instructions

1-Start by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and prepare 24 muffin cups with liners or by greasing them thoroughly. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until everything blends smoothly.

2-Next, stir in 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda until just mixed don’t overmix to keep those muffins light and airy! Gently fold in 3 cups diced rhubarb for that fresh fruit burst. In a small bowl, mix the topping: 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon softened butter until it gets crumbly.

3-Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter, then sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the topping on each one. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let them cool in the pan for 15 minutes before moving to a wire rack voila, you’re done! For adaptations, like gluten-free options, swap flour as needed to keep it simple.

Notes

🍢 Substitute buttermilk by mixing 1 tablespoon white vinegar with regular milk to make 1 cup.
❄️ Use fresh rhubarb when possible. If using frozen, thaw completely and drain excess liquid well to prevent soggy muffins.
πŸ₯„ Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a good texture and prevent muffins from becoming dense or misshapen.
