There’s so much to love about Rhubarb Muffins! They’re incredibly moist and are studded with sweet pieces of rhubarb. Don’t forget about the scrumptious streusel topping either! You’ll want to pick it off and eat it by itself!

Breakfast on the farm is crazy no matter what time of the year it is. During the summer it’s a hit-and-miss meal. It seems like we are all on different shifts and nobody is going to bed at the same time, and that means nobody is waking up at the same time either.

Way too many times a week I’m either delivering breakfast to the boys, or they are popping in one at a time to grab a quick bite to eat. And I mean quick! They stand on the back porch and snarf a muffin down and head back out.

These rhubarb muffins are perfect whether they grab one before they head out the door, eat on as a snack, or ask me to bring it to them. They hit the spot!

What’s the easiest way to scoop muffin batter?

  • Of course, there are lots of ways to measure out and scoop muffins. I prefer using a spring-loaded ice cream scoop.
  • This ice cream scoop is the perfect size for muffins and cupcakes.
  • It’s easier to get the batter out if you spray the inside of the scoop before using it.

What’s the easiest way to chop rhubarb?

Let me be honest for just a minute here! My boys don’t like rhubarb, like at all! My youngest wouldn’t even try these rhubarb muffins until I told him he couldn’t eat another thing until he at least ate one bite. He ate it, he liked it, he didn’t admit it, he still hates rhubarb.

The secret to getting the kids to eat rhubarb is cooking with it before they have a chance to see what it is. They’ll gobble it up and love it! The second trick is chopping it pretty fine. It’s easy!

  • Of course, you can use a knife and give it a chop, it’s a lot of work though.
  • Chopping it in a food processor is super easy! Add a little at a time. Pulse it until it’s about the size of a green pea. Easy!

How to make perfect muffins?

  • Don’t over-mix the batter. This batter should be lumpy!
  • These are my favorite nonstick muffin tins because they don’t over-brown the muffins.
  • Spray the bottoms of muffin tins with floured baking spray. It makes taking them out of the pan a breeze!
  • Rotate pan halfway through cooking time.
  • Check to see if muffins are done by sticking a toothpick in the muffin. If it comes out clean it’s cooked through.
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.

Every bite of these muffins is studded with sweet, tangy rhubarb! Double the streusel topping if you love caramelized butter and sugar, and who doesn’t! Be sure to slather them with plenty of soft butter, because butter makes everything even better!

      Hi Phyllis! I add the topping before baking! It sinks into the muffins a little bit and makes the streusel on top gets a little bit crunchy! So yummy!
