Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (150g) fresh rhubarb, diced small
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced small
  • 1 tbsp (8g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp (28g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the diced strawberries and rhubarb with 1 tablespoon of flour until lightly coated. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to rub the cold butter into the mixture until coarse, sandy crumbs form. Set aside in the fridge.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate jug or bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the flour-coated strawberry and rhubarb mixture into the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among 12 lined muffin tins and top each with a generous pinch of the brown sugar streusel.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
