Ingredients

Scale
  • Cinnamon Butter Crumble:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (optional)
  • Rhubarb Muffins:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped (reserve 1/4 cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix crumble ingredients until crumbly; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, combine milk and vinegar; let sit 2 minutes, then add vanilla, oil, and egg.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped rhubarb.
  7. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups and sprinkle reserved rhubarb on top.
  8. Top each muffin with cinnamon crumble.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • You can substitute half the rhubarb with strawberries for a sweeter variation.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat briefly for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.
