Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup honey
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups rhubarb, diced (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the melted butter and honey, whisking until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk again until well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Fold the diced rhubarb into the batter, distributing it evenly throughout.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of granulated sugar over the tops for a touch of extra sweetness and a slight crunch.
Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these delicious Honey Rhubarb Muffins. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
