Tender and slightly tart rhubarb muffins topped with a crunchy cinnamon sugar crust, made quickly in one bowl for an easy and comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups diced fresh rhubarb (about 200g)
  • Cinnamon sugar topping: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, melted and cooled butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt or sour cream to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in the diced rhubarb. If any pieces are large, break them up for even baking.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Mix the cinnamon sugar topping ingredients and sprinkle generously over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Toss rhubarb with a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Use room temperature eggs and melted butter for smooth batter. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking if oven runs hot. Muffins freeze well; thaw or warm before serving.
