Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Finely chopped rhubarb
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the sour cream, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped rhubarb and, if desired, the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a pinch of brown sugar for a slightly crisp, sweet topping.

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

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Sour Cream Rhubarb Muffins!
