Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Rhubarb
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tray or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold the chopped rhubarb into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
To make the topping, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Sprinkle a spoonful of the cinnamon-sugar topping over each muffin.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
