Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 unit egg, large
• 1.5 cups rhubarb, diced
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

To make the streusel, combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

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

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
