Time 1h20m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus the juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
3 stalks rhubarb (about 6 3/4 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the crumble topping: Add the brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl and use clean hands to mix the ingredients together until pea-size pieces form. Set aside.
  • For the muffins: Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour in 3 parts, alternating with the milk in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour and beating until just incorporated. Fold in the rhubarb using a rubber spatula. Take care not to overmix the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, leaving at least 1/8 inch of space at the top. Sprinkle on the crumble mixture, distributing it evenly.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Le the muffins cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For perfectly moist muffins, use a combination of melted butter and vegetable oil. This will keep the muffins tender and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • To ensure even baking, rotate the muffin pan halfway through the baking time.
  • For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar or turbinado sugar before baking.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing them. This will help them retain their moisture and flavor.
