Description

Surprisingly delicious muffins, and a great way to use up early summer rhubarb.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Oil
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 cups Chopped Rhubarb
  • 2-½ cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine brown sugar, oil, egg, vanilla and buttermilk. (If you do not have buttermilk, combine 1 tablespoon of vinegar and milk to make 1 cup. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, stir and add to recipe.) Beat together well. Add in rhubarb and stir.

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Stir into the wet ingredients.

Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Mix together melted butter, sugar and cinnamon. Press lightly on top of muffins.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Delicious warm or cooled.

I made these tonight and LOVED THEM! I forgot to add salt…so I will have to remember it next time. They are so tasty and PERFECT to use with fresh rhubarb!

I made these this morning. They are really tasty, but I have one complaint about the recipe. After 19 minutes of baking, I started smelling a burning smell from my oven – the muffins were starting to blacken all around the edges. I’m sure it may depend on your oven, but for me, I would put them in for 15 – 17 minutes next time.

I am very happy with this recipe and I used Splenda brown sugar. I also took them out at 20 mins. Will use this recipe again

This is a great recipe!! I made this as a cake instead of muffins (since I don’t have muffin tins). I had to bake for about 40 minutes to cook all the way through. I did add about 3 cups of Rhubarb and that was the perfect amount. I don’t think that the topping was enough so I would double or triple that part of the recipe.

These were wonderful once I got the baking temp down. The first time I made them, I followed the directions to the tee. After 15 min. baking I could smell something burning. Took them out at 20 min. and they were black and hard around the edges. Made them again with the oven temp at 350 and baked them 25 min. Perfect! Very easy recipe and a delicious muffin! Thanks for the recipe.

My husband and I LOVED these muffins! They are moist, sweet and a tad bit tart. Perfect! (I would lower the temp to 375 also.)

These muffins are awesome, Dad took some to his coffee club and they all loved them too, have made them about 6 times already. Lowered the temp to 375 and cooked just a little longer. Very moist. Yum Yum.
