As kids, we used to dip stalks of fresh rhubarb from my Grandma Mary’s garden into bowls of sugar. I still love rhubarb just as much, and it’s great in muffins!
These Rhubarb Muffins have chunks of rhubarb in tender muffin topped with a cinnamon-spiced crumble topping.

Ingredients for Rhubarb Muffins
Rhubarb: When picking rhubarb, look for medium-sized, firm, and crisp stalks that snap easily when bent. Rhubarb can range in color and sweetness—opt for redder stalks for a sweeter taste or greener ones for a more tart flavor.
Greek Yogurt: I use vanilla Greek yogurt as the creaminess adds moisture to these muffins. You can replace it with regular Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Butter: This recipe uses melted butter for the best flavor, it can be replaced with an equal amount of vegetable oil.
Dry Ingredients: This recipe calls for all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. The salt enhances the flavor, the sugar adds sweetness, and the baking powder helps the muffins rise.
Struesel Topping (optional): Rhubarb is tart, so adding a streusel topping adds sweetness. Get creative; stir in nuts, coconut, or even oats, and sprinkle over muffins.

How Long Do Muffins Last?
Like most baked goods, this rhubarb muffin recipe tastes best served warm and fresh from the oven.
Counter/Fridge: To keep muffins moist and fresh, store them tightly covered in a plastic container or zip lock bag for up to 2 days at room temperature or a week in the refrigerator. To prevent the tops from getting sticky or soggy, make sure they are completely cooled before storing.
Freezer: Rhubarb crisp muffins can be frozen for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature, or heat them straight from the freezer for 10 minutes in a 350°F oven or 30 seconds in the microwave.
