Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups buttermilk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups rhubarb, diced
• 0.75 cups pecans, chopped
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, for topping
• 0.25 cups pecans, for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease them well with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the diced rhubarb and chopped pecans with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and extra chopped pecans for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
