How to Make Danielle Lapointes Calgary Stampede Rhubarb Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup strawberry applesauce (or 1 cup regular applesauce), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 cups chopped rhubarb.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Lightly grease the liners and tin with non-stick spray.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened. Mix until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffins.
  9. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If your oven runs cool, bake at 375°F (190°C).
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
