Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins
These muffins are bursting with juicy raspberries, tangy rhubarb and crunchy walnuts. A sprinkling of oatmeal brown sugar topping adds just the right amount of sweetness.
Ingredients
For the topping:
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons canola oil or your favorite baking oil
For the raspberry rhubarb muffins:
- 2 cups spelt flour or sub all purpose-flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup unflavored unsweetened soy or almond milk
- ⅓ cup canola oil or whatever oil you used for the topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups raspberries fresh
- 1 cup rhubarb fresh or frozen and thawed, finely chopped
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with papers.
- Stir all of the topping ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. In a separate, smaller bowl, stir together the milk, oil and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir just until blended, being careful not to overmix. Carefully fold in the raspberries, rhubarb and nuts.
- Divide the mixture into the lined muffin cups. The cups should be very full, but not overflowing. Sprinkle the tops with the oat topping.
- Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly browned on the tops and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before removing from tins.
