Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb, washed and finely chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rhubarb: Begin by washing and finely chopping the fresh rhubarb into small pieces. This ensures even distribution and a signature tart flavor in every muffin.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural brown sugar to create the dry base of the batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the plant-based milk, melted plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and well combined.
- Bring It Together: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, folding gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped rhubarb to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender muffin texture.
- Bake: Spoon the batter into a lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh rhubarb for best texture and flavor; avoid frozen rhubarb unless thawed and well-drained.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and moist.
- Check oven temperature with an oven thermometer for accurate baking.
- Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to keep them intact.
- Toss rhubarb in a teaspoon of flour before folding it into the batter to prevent sinking.
