Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold the diced rhubarb into the batter, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

Step 6

To make the streusel topping, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.

Step 7

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Old Fashioned Rhubarb Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
