Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rhubarb, diced
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, 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 nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Add the diced rhubarb and blueberries to the batter. Fold in gently to distribute evenly, being careful not to crush the blueberries.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the tops of the unbaked muffins for added crunch and sweetness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
