Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper cups.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and eggs until well combined.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet bowl, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  • Add rhubarb and vanilla: Gently fold in chopped rhubarb and vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Fill the muffin tin: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the prepared batter.
  • Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
