Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 unit egg, large
- 1.5 cups rhubarb, diced
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
To make the streusel, combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
