Sour Cream Rhubarb Muffins Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by sherbartz

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ⁄2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 ⁄4 cup butter
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 1⁄2 cups flour
3 ⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1⁄2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cream brown sugar and butter. Add sour cream and eggs, mix well. Sift together flour, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Stir flour mixture into the sour cream mixture until moistened. Fold in rhubarb. Pour into greased muffin tins. Mix together sugar and remaining cinnamon and sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and firm rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are bright red in color, with no signs of wilting or bruising. Avoid stalks that are thick and woody, as they will be more tart and fibrous.
  • Remove the leaves from the rhubarb: Rhubarb leaves are poisonous, so it's important to remove them before using the stalks. Cut off the leaves at the base of the stalk, and discard them.
  • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces: This will help it to cook evenly in the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin tins to the top: This will ensure that the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb cream muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are moist and tender, with a sweet and tangy flavor from the rhubarb. The cream cheese frosting adds a rich and creamy touch. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
