They are perfect to make ahead of time and I love to serve them for breakfast or for an after school treat, or with a cup of juice at sunset .

It all began with a grumpy-looking bunch of rhubarb in my fridge because it was leftover from a pie attempt and—to be honest—that didn’t go very well. I really hate wasting food so I wondered what else you could do with rhubarb besides making pie.

Then, on a Summer Saturday, I was in sword dress and suddenly had a serious craving for something sweet. Muffins came to mind so I thought—why not give it a try.

I started preparing Muffins but after I added a little sugar and a pinch of cinnamon and—don’t judge—a splash of vanilla creamer since I was out of milk, something magical happened.They turned out soft and sweet and tangy in the best way. I may have eaten three before they even had time to cool down.

So, have you ever made rhubarb muffins If not, now’s your moment but if you have, these might just challenge your favorite recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping Optional but delicious:

• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp melted butter

How to Make Delicious Rhubarb Muffins

Step 1

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup lightly.

Chop your rhubarb into small pieces, about the size of a blueberry.

Step 2

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon. Mixing these dry ingredients first helps distribute the leavening agents evenly, giving your muffins that perfect rise.

In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: sugar, brown sugar, oil or butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.

Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture just until combined. Don’t overmix!

Next, add the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined. The Greek yogurt is the secret to keeping these muffins moist and delicious!

Step 3

Fold in Rhubarb: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, and we want them light and fluffy!

Scoop the batter into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.

If using the topping, mix cinnamon, sugar, and butter together and sprinkle over each muffin.

Step 4

Bake: Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Keep an eye on them! You’ll know they’re done when a Brushes inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be heavenly!
