Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chopped rhubarb
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Fold in the chopped rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and additional ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cinnamon rhubarb muffins warm or at room temperature!
