How to Make Rhubarb Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. Combine 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 orange in a medium bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the rhubarb mixture.
  7. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust warm muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
