Description

These rhubarb muffins are moist, slightly tart, and perfect for spring. The sweet crumb topping complements the tangy rhubarb beautifully.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • For crumb topping: 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  7. To make the crumb topping, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
  • Frozen rhubarb can be used; thaw and drain it first.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra flavor depth.
