Muffins are my weakness! When I make these to take to a gathering, I always come home with an empty plate. —Mary Kay Morris, Cokato, Minnesota

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
TOPPING:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, oil, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in rhubarb and walnuts.
Fill 10 greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

buttermilk

To substitute for each cup of buttermilk, use 1 Tbsp. white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand 5 min. Or, use 1 cup plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk.

Rhubarb

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