Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh rhubarb, diced
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar (for crumble topping)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumble topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
Fold in the diced rhubarb gently until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
To make the crumble, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and cold, cubed butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly and pea-sized pieces form.
Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5-7 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
