Description
If you’re looking for a muffin that’s tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of tangy, these Rhubarb Muffins with Greek Yogurt are a must-try.
Ingredients
Scale
Here’s everything you’ll need to make a batch of about 12 muffins:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or 2%)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb
Ingredient Notes:
- Greek yogurt: Adds moisture, protein, and a subtle tang. Avoid non-fat versions for best results.
- Rhubarb: Fresh is ideal, but you can also use frozen with a few adjustments (see below).
- Sugar: Adjust to taste depending on how tart your rhubarb is.
- Flour: Stick to all-purpose, or swap in 50% whole wheat flour for a wholesome twist.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease with oil or butter.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in rhubarb: Gently fold the chopped rhubarb into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Portion the batter: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overmix: Stir just until the flour disappears—overmixing can lead to dense muffins.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps everything mix evenly and improves rise.
- Chop rhubarb small: Small pieces ensure the fruit cooks through and distributes flavor evenly.
