Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 unit large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh rhubarb (chopped into small pieces)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Carefully fold in the chopped rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
For an optional topping, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.
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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
