Yahoo! Rhubarb is in season! I grew-up picking rhubarb fresh from the patch and then dipping the end in a bowl of sugar….so 70’s! I no longer do the sugar dipping thing, but I absolutely love rhubarb recipes. I don’t grow any (not sure why not), but a few ladies from work brought me in some fresh rhubarb and I’m totally going on a rhubarb rampage over the next few days, so brace yourself. The first recipe is for delicious rhubarb muffins….mmm good.
Rhubarb Muffins:
Preheat the over to 350 degrees.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2/3 cups oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups of chopped fresh rhubarb
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Fold in the rhubarb. Grease muffin tins. Place the batter in muffin trays. This recipe makes 24 muffins.
Topping:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon melted butter
- Optional: candied pecans
Mix the ingredients together and sprinkle on top of the muffins. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for this Cindy. I love everything rhubarb, but didn’t have a recipe for rhubarb muffins. I will love these I know.
