Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped rhubarb, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to ensure light, fluffy muffins.
- If using frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain it to prevent soggy muffins.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flaxseed eggs and use dairy-free yogurt.
