Ingredients

For muffins

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt or more as needed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour plain flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ cup rhubarb small dice around ¼in, ½cm

For the topping

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Line 6 muffin molds in a tin, or grease with butter. Preheat oven to 375°F/190C.
  • Lightly beat the egg. Add the melted butter, yogurt and vanilla, whisk to combine.
  • Separately, mix the flour, sugars, baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Add the sliced rhubarb to the flour mixture along with the wet ingredients. Mix so that everything is combined and well-distributed but try not to overmix. If it is very stiff as you mix, add a little more yogurt but it should be on the firmer side.
  • Divide the mixture between the muffin moulds and smooth off the tops a little.
  • Mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle over the muffins.
  • Bake for approximately 18-22 minutes until golden on top and a skewer put in the middle comes out clean.
