Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 3/4 cup plant-based sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup plant-based butter or oil
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb, washed and diced into small, even pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and dice fresh rhubarb into small, even pieces to distribute their tangy flavor throughout the muffins evenly.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, natural gelling agent, and plant-based sugar until well combined.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend plant-based butter or oil, plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, apple cider vinegar (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy.
- Bring Wet and Dry Together: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
- Add the Rhubarb: Carefully fold in the diced rhubarb, spreading it evenly throughout the batter to ensure a balance of flavor in every bite.
- Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or greased well, then bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Fresh Is Best: Using fresh rhubarb rather than canned makes a big difference in flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until ingredients come together to avoid dense muffins.
- Check Early for Doneness: Ovens vary, so start checking around 18 minutes to prevent drying out.
- Uniform Pieces: Cut rhubarb into similar-sized chunks to ensure even distribution and baking.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps them combine more smoothly and produce a consistent batter.
