How to Make Best Rhubarb Muffins Ever

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 1/12 cups packed light brown sugar and ½ cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups chopped rhubarb.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While muffins bake, prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.
  10. Immediately after removing muffins from the oven, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the warm muffins.
