Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins Recipe (VIDEO) - A Spicy Perspective (2024)

Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins Recipe – A simple muffin recipe with tons of appeal! These might just be the best muffins you’ll ever make… Moist, chunky, light, and tangy.

Homemade Muffins

Before there were cupcakes, there were muffins.

Muffins are such an unassuming little snack. They pose as just about anything… Breakfast, dessert, a companion to coffee. Muffins will be whatever you want them to be, and will do it with grace.

Popularity often dictates food culture, but don’t let the current trendiness of the modern cupcake tempt you to snub this sweet little treat.

Don’t forget, in the late eighties and early nineties, muffins were all the rage.

Remember the Seinfeld episode with Elaine and the muffin tops? Top of the muffin to you… Anyone?!? (I can hear crickets chirping in the silence.)

Muffins, as we know them, are a truly American invention popping up in cookbooks in the early 1900s. Hearty and rustic, yet light and flavorful. They don’t need frosting, or any other ingredient to perfect them.

Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins

Muffins have the substance to stand alone.

I admit, this isn’t the most original flavor combination I’ve ever come up with, but it is definitely worth while.

The classic duo of strawberry and rhubarb adds marvelous flavor to these light and creamy Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Muffins. Just look at the dome on these babies!

Yogurt is one of my favorite baking ingredients because it provides a tart quality, like buttermilk, along with a moist, rich, creamy texture.

A good muffin batter (in my opinion) should be thick enough to “hold” the berries and rhubarb in place, yet offer a moist tender crumb once baked.

This particular Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Muffins recipe “takes the cake” and has become my favorite go-to recipe.

Homemade Yogurt Muffin Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour – Plus a little extra to coat the berries.
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Unsalted Butter – Softened so that it is easier to mix in with the other ingredients.
• Vegetable Oil – Or your preferred cooking oil.
• Granulated Sugar
• Large Egg
• Plain Yogurt – Some yogurts are thicker than others, making the batter dry. The batter should be thick, but if it’s too thick (like dough instead of a batter) mix in another 1/4 – 1/2 cup yogurt.
• Almond Extract – Added for extra flavor that compliments the strawberry and rhubarb. Vanilla extract can be used instead.
• Chopped Rhubarb – This comes out to about one large piece of fresh rhubarb.
• Chopped Strawberries
• Brown Sugar – This is for topping the muffins before baking.

How To Make Yogurt Strawberry and Rhubarb Muffins

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Simply mix your wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls, (the egg, yogurt, and almond extract go in with the sugar).
2. Slowly combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture in a large bowl.
3. Toss the strawberries and rhubarb in a little bit of flour then add it to the muffin mixture and lightly fold it all together.
4. Line your cupcake pan with some paper liners and use a ¼ cup scoop to spoon in the batter.
5. Lightly top each muffin with a little brown sugar before baking. Bake in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes until they are golden on top.
6. Serve them warm and enjoy!
