Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ cups full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup avocado oil (swap in favourite neutral oil)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp almond extract (OPTIONAL)
  • 2 cups finely chopped rhubarb (pieces the size of small peas)
  • 2 tbsp raw demarara sugar for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, milk, egg and extract(s).
  • Add yogurt mixture to dry ingredients and use your biggest spatula to gently fold together, scraping the bottom, until 80% incorporated with floury streaks remaining.
  • Gently fold in the rhubarb (reserve a few for topping if you like!). Stop mixing again when the rhubarb is only 80% incorporated. You can divide the rhubarb equally with your spoon as you scoop the batter into cups, don't risk over-mixing the batter.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin. Top with reserved rhubarb if desired, and sprinkle with raw sugar.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed.

Notes

The almond extract adds a nice je-ne-sais-quoi flavour, like boxed white cake, but it is completely optional. Don't run to the store for it and definitely don't skip the recipe because you don't have it!
