Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe rhubarb. The stalks should be firm and brightly colored, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Line the muffin tins with paper liners or grease them well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
