RHUBARB MUFFINS



Rhubarb Muffins image

Add these amazing muffins to your list of things to make with rhubarb. They are super light and fluffy and studded throughout with tangy bits of bright pink fruit. Before baking, the batter is sprinkled with a salty-sweet crumble, resulting in a hit of crunch with every bite. This recipe uses vegetable oil as opposed to butter, which helps keep the muffins moist for days!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus the juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
3 stalks rhubarb (about 6 3/4 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the crumble topping: Add the brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl and use clean hands to mix the ingredients together until pea-size pieces form. Set aside.
  • For the muffins: Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour in 3 parts, alternating with the milk in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour and beating until just incorporated. Fold in the rhubarb using a rubber spatula. Take care not to overmix the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, leaving at least 1/8 inch of space at the top. Sprinkle on the crumble mixture, distributing it evenly.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Le the muffins cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh rhubarb. If you don't have 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 can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These rhubarb orange muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up fresh rhubarb.
