Ingredients

  • 2 c All Purpose Flour
  • ⅔ c Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 c Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ c Vegetable Oil
  • 1 c Apples, finely chopped ¼" dice or grated
  • 1 c Rhubarb, finely chopped ¼" dice

Instructions

  • Preaheat oven to 400'F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with large or extra large muffin liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the first 5 dry ingredients (Flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt).
  • In a smaller bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the 4 wet ingredients (milk, eggs, vanilla and vegetable oil).
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently stir through with a spoon just until it is a moist, cohesive mixture. Do not overmix, lumps are ok.
  • Stir rhubarb and apple chunks through and then spoon evenly into the 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake at 400'F for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack and let sit 5 minutes, then take muffins out of the tin and let them finish cooling on the rack.

Notes

These muffins are not overly sweet. If you like more sweet with your rhubarb, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup. If you like less fruit, you can reduce the fruit to ¾ cup of each, apples and rhubarb. 
These muffins last well for 3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Alternatively, you can let them fully cool before sealing in a bag or container and freezing for up to 3 months.
