Rhubarb Muffins with Greek Yogurt


  • Author: Mark Bennett
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Description

Tender, moist muffins featuring tangy rhubarb and protein-rich Greek yogurt with a sweet, crunchy brown sugar topping. Perfect for breakfast or snacks.


Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 2 cups
  • Granulated sugar – 3/4 cup
  • Baking powder – 2 teaspoons
  • Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Plain Greek yogurt – 1 cup
  • Large eggs – 2
  • Vegetable oil – 1/3 cup
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh rhubarb, diced – 1 1/2 cups
  • Brown sugar (topping) – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. 3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly, then mix in Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. 4. Create a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in wet mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula 15-20 times until just combined and slightly lumpy.
  5. 5. Toss diced rhubarb with 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold into batter.
  6. 6. Fill muffin cups three-quarters full and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over tops.
  7. 7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. 8. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months. Fresh or frozen rhubarb works equally well. For best results, avoid overmixing the batter.
