What a pleasure it is to set out a basket of these rhubarb muffins...although the basket doesn't stay full for very long! I have six children and two grandsons, so I do a lot of baking. The snacks are based on a coffee cake recipe.

Rhubarb Streusel Muffins Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 18 Servings

15 22 37

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
3 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
TOPPING:
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cold butter

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in rhubarb.
Fill paper-lined or greased muffin cups three-fourths full. For topping, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
Bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

I am not a rhubarb fan, but my sister in law baked these for breakfast when they visited us and they were DELISH! I am now excited to pick rhubarb, I didn't know it could be so good! They are a little hard to get out of the pan, the streusel topping melts all over, but soooo worth the extra trouble!
