Rhubarb Lemon Muffins Recipe
  • Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
15 20 35

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plus 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar, divided
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 1-3/4 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, oil and lemon peel. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in rhubarb.
  • Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 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 liked this muffin however I think I would add a bit more sugar. It was moist and quite tasty.
