Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups rhubarb, diced
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold the diced rhubarb into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, butter (softened), ground cinnamon, and flour for the crumb topping. Use a fork or your fingers to combine into a crumbly mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each muffin.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
