Muffins
Ingredients
Batter
- 10 oz all purpose flour (2 cups, see note)
- 4 oz granulated sugar (½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 6 oz Buttermilk (¾ cup)
- 3 ½ oz vegetable oil (½ cup)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 8 oz rhubarb (cut into 1/2" cubes, about 2 cups)
Topping
- 2 oz granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Butter and flour 12 standard-size muffin cups or line with paper liners. Alternately, this recipe will make 6 jumbo muffins.
- Place 10 oz all purpose flour, 4 oz granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon table salt, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 6 oz Buttermilk, 3 ½ oz vegetable oil and ½ teaspoon vanilla.
- Combine 2 oz granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Toss 8 oz rhubarb cubes with the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients. Stir just until the flour is incorporated. Don't over mix. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Generously sprinkle the top of each muffin with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake until the center of a muffin springs back when lightly pressed or a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs, 15-20 minutes.
- Cool the muffins for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a baking rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or room temperature.

Notes
If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.
