Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Chopped fresh rhubarb
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, large egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy, which is okay.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb with a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and tangy flavors!
