Moist & Tangy Rhubarb Muffins with Greek Yogurt

Print Recipe

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease with oil or butter.

  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.

  5. Fold in rhubarb: Gently fold the chopped rhubarb into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

  6. Portion the batter: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
