CINNAMON-RHUBARB MUFFINS RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Cinnamon-Rhubarb Muffins Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by á-2225

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the muffins:
9 oz. (2 cups) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup sour cream
4 oz. (8 Tbs.) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups 1/4-inch-diced rhubarb (7-1/4 oz.)
For the topping:
3 Tbs. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or foil baking cups. Make the muffin batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and whisk to blend. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Lightly stir the sour cream mixture into the dry ingredients with a spatula until the batter just comes together; do not overmix. Gently stir in the diced rhubarb. The batter will be thick. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, using the back of a spoon or a small spatula to settle the batter into the cups. The batter should mound a bit higher than the tops of the cups. Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Sprinkle a generous 1/2 tsp. of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each muffin. Bake the muffins until they're golden brown, spring back most of the way when gently pressed, and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift the muffins out of the pan-if necessary, loosen them with the tip of a paring knife-and let them cool somewhat.

Time 50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 ½ cups diced rhubarb

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12 cup muffin pans or line with paper cups.

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, white sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of this mixture on top of each muffin.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb has a bright, tart flavor that is perfect for muffins. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help the muffins to set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon-topped rhubarb muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or a special brunch. With their sweet and tart flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
