Rhubarb muffins with blueberries – bypass by low budget

If you have never tried rhubarb before, it’s a pie, crunchy and only for a short season, then take it while you can! These rhubarb muffins with blueberries favorable to a budget are simple, tasty and perfect at any time of the day (especially breakfast!). Juicy blueberries help soften the flavor of rhubarb, while cinnamon and sugar bring comfortable sweet notes. I also garnished them with a butter strenel for a crunchy finish which is completely divine. I couldn’t stop eating them … and I bet you won’t do it either!

Easy recipe for blueberry and rhubarb muffins
There is more rhubarb than the simple rhubarb pie. I had leftovers of my pie recipe, so I decided to give this unique vegetable (yes, rhubarb is a vegetable, but it acts like a flavor fruit!) A new moment to shine.
These muffins are soft and tender inside, with just the right amount of streusel on the top. However, if you are not in a crumble garnish, you can easily jump it. They are dotted with juicy blueberries and pockets of rhubarb pie that combine with the sweet crumb and keep things interesting to bite after the bite. Enjoy these homemade muffins with a hot coffee cup, or pack one for an easy breakfast for busy mornings!
Blueberries are generally available all year round (even when it is out of season), but the use of Frozen Ones is a great way to keep things suitable for the budget. Although, if you have fresh blueberries that should be used, do not hesitate to use them in this recipe instead!
Rhubarb, on the other hand, has a short season and is not always easy to find frozen. So when you spot it fresh, take a pile and freeze what you don’t use … you will be happy to have done it later.

How to make rhubarb muffins with blueberries


Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 400 ° F.


Combine wet ingredients: Add 1 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, ½ cup of vegetable oil, ½ cup of milk, lemon juice and zest (½ a lemon) to a medium -sized bowl. Mix well to combine.


Combine dry ingredients: Pour 2 cups of flour, 2 tbsp. ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon, ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon in a large bowl to mix and mix.


Make the dough: Now pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Fold together to combine. Be careful not to overmix too much, as it can make your rhubarb muffins with homemade and dense homemade blueberries.


Add the fruit: Now fold 1 cup of frozen blueberries and 1 cup of rhubarb (cut into ½ inch pieces). I like to fold the fruit in the dough to prevent the Blueberries from having fun and turning the purple dough.


Make the Streusel garnish: Add 3 tablespoons of cold butter, ¼ cup of brown sugar and ¼ cup of flour in a medium mixing bowl.


Use a fork to combine the ingredients until it is crumbly. You don’t want butter paste, so make sure your butter is cold so that it forms beautiful to collapse.


Divide the dough into muffin boxes: Spray your muffin molds well with a non -stick cooking spray. Divide the muffin dough evenly between 12 muffin holes and garnish with the crumble.


Cook the muffins: Cook your blueberries with blueberries and rhubarb in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they have swollen and are golden brown. Remove the muffin tray from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before transfer to a rack to finish the cooling.


- Be careful not to do too much about the dough! Surminging can develop gluten in flour, which can lead to dense and soft muffins. For a soft crumb, I fold the dry ingredients until they are simply incorporated with the wet ingredients.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Just like our classic blueberry muffin recipe, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Choose the cheapest for you! Just note that if your frozen blueberries have started to thaw, it could make your dough purple (which will not affect the taste, just purely aesthetic!) I wanted it small and I poured all excess of liquid before using it.
- Dice the small rhubarb For an equal distribution of blueberries and rhubarb in each muffin. See my photos step by step above for reference. You should also remove the leaves (they are toxic) and wash and cut the rhubarb before the split.
- Grease your muffin pan well. I like to use a decent amount of non -stick cooking spray to grease my pan before adding the dough. It makes it much easier to take out the muffins after cooking. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. You can also use so favorite muffin lining.
- Add a little cinnamon to the Streusel filling For even more cinnamon flavor, as we do in our recipe for apple cinnamon muffins!
