Rhubarb Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Updated April 28, 2011
I appreciate all of your rhubarb recipe suggestions. I now have tons of recipes to try. I wish I had ten plants. I decided to try rhubarb muffins next.
I loved these muffins. They are a new favorite. I made big ones and mini ones and they were both amazing. They were plenty moist due to the applesauce, oil, rhubarb, and apple. I loved the tart rhubarb flavor paired with sweet brown sugar and cinnamon. I am glad I added the cinnamon crunch topping, it really made these muffins marvelous!
So if you haven’t tried rhubarb yet, what are you waiting for? Try my strawberry rhubarb crumb cake or these magnificent muffins! You won’t be disappointed.
2 ½ cups chopped rhubarb
1 chopped Granny Smith apple
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
¼ cup canola oil
½ cup non sweetened applesauce
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Crunch Topping:
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup flour
¼ cup oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ T cold butter
Cinnamon/sugar mixed
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tins or use paper liners.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
Oh my goodness, maria–these look incerdible. I am such a sucker for crumb cake, and the rhubabrb brings back a lot of memories (my mother used to grow it in the garden and made all sorts of concoctions).
Thanks for visiting my blog becasue it helped me find yours–am now following!

Look great! I wouldn’t have thought of mixing rhubarb and apple, but I think I’m going to have to try the combo!
How lucky to have it in your own back yard. My dad used to grow it. He was also obsessed.
I really need to buy some now; you got me craving it 🙂
I love rhubarb, but I don’t see it in the markets so much here so I only use it a little. These muffins (and that coffee cake) both look delicious!
Hey- with my “issue” I’d start to gain a little weight because I wasn’t…riding myself of anything. Then once it finally happened I’d drop like 5 pounds (not even kidding). It was madness
Another winner! and i’m still jealous of the plant in your yard!!! 🙂
You know how I feel about rhubarb! 🙂 These look great, wouldn’t have thought to combine rhubarb with apple.
These look delicious Maria! I am always on the lookout for new muffin recipes, and this looks like a goodie.
These sound great! Can you believe I’ve only had rhubarb once in my life? I feel like I haven’t given it a fair chance. I don’t have a plant in my yard, but I’ll try and track some down to try these.
I’ve only had one loved and lost recipe for rhubarb and I think it’s time to give the fruit another try. It is a fruit isn’t it??? Or a veggie??? These muffins look superdeduper. And I like healthy twist! 🙂
Stumbled!
i love the crcunchy topping. These look so wonderful for breakfast!
These look so yummy! Great deal on the flip flops huh?! I always can use some for the pool so this is perfect!
Very creative! 🙂
Yum! I’ve got to buy some rhubarb at the farmer’s market here on Sat.!
That is so cool you have a little garden. I wished I did and had a green thumb. And I have never cooked with rhubarb before.
Hooray for rhubarb week! Yummy muffins, rhubarb jam next?
That is so seasonal, healthy but most important delicious looking!
Those do look really nice! Have a great holiday weekend!
i’m almost embarrassed to admit that I haven’t had rhubarb before. next time i see it in my grocery, i’ll be sure to pick one up and try your recipe. Yum!
all this talk of rhubarb – I am going to have to break down and try and like the stuff –
These look great, Maria! You definitely have convinced me that I have to try rhubarb! I will keep my eyes out for it!
These rhubarb posts are making me bust ribs with laughing. What’s an insane girl to do?
(Very creative muffins, BTW)
I adore your rhubarb recipes
Love ho healthy this looks…have not had rhubarb for 20 years. I need to try again and introduce it to my kids
What a delicious Rhubarb muffins maria
Oh, Maria, these muffins sound fantastic. I seriously need to try rhubarb, don’t I?! It’s getting pathetic. I love the spices you’ve got going on, and I can only imagine how moist these muffins are. Deeelish! How lucky you are to have your rhubarb plants!
I love rhubarb!!
What a GREAT combo! These look fantastic!!
These look delicious! I love the topping. I’m definitely going to try them out.
(I tried my mom’s Rhubarb Bread the other day and fell in love with rhubarb all over again. Here’s the link – I LOVE it. My 2 year old eats it like crazy. http://storemadetohomemade.blogspot.com/2009/05/rhubarb-bread.html )
Made these today and they were so yummy! I also made the rhubarb sorbert which is in the fridge chilling overnight. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Ha! I am working my way backwards through your rhubarb recipes and they look so delicious! And rhubarb in your yard? How lucky is that? Rhubarb and Apple and Cinnamon in a muffin? Yes!
these look great – I heard rhubarb and apple went really well together.
YUM! Rhubarb & Applesauce muffins now these are GOOD!
