Gluten Free Rhubarb Crumble Muffins

I’m drowning in rhubarb, are you?  Rhubarb is always the first thing in the garden to come up, and there is always tons all summer long.  Zucchini comes later.  😉

 

This Gluten Free Rhubarb Crumble Muffin recipe actually adapted from my Grandma’s recipe; just cleaned up and de-glutened for the modern girl’s kitchen.  I love serving these warm from the oven to company at brunch, or keeping in the freezer for unexpected guests.  Enjoy!  xoxo

 

 

Gluten Free Rhubarb Crumble Muffins

2 1/4 C whole grain gluten-free flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp gluten-free baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 C coconut sugar

1 C + 2 Tb coconut milk

1 Tb fresh lemon juice

1/2 C melted coconut oil

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract or Ground Vanilla Bean Powder

1 large egg, beaten, or vegan egg replacer equal to 1 large egg

2 C chopped rhubarb

 

1 Tb melted butter or coconut oil

1/4 C coconut sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp Ground Vanilla Bean Powder

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (if your oven runs hot or you are unsure, preheat to 375 degrees instead), and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.

 

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.  Add the coconut sugar and mix well.  Set aside.

 

In another medium bowl, add the coconut milk, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg or egg replacer and whisk together until well combined.

 

 

Add the chopped rhubarb to the dry mixture and gently toss until well combined.  Create a well in the centre of the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into the dry.  Quickly and gently mix the batter until just combined.  The batter will be lumpy, which is ok; do not over-mix.  In a separate small heat-proof bowl mix the melted butter or coconut oil, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and vanilla bean powder.  Set aside.

 

Spoon the batter two-thirds full into the prepared muffin cups.  Sprinkle a small amount of the cinnamon crumble mixture on top of the muffins.  Bake for 15-20 minutes (25-35 minutes if baking at 375 degrees), or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the muffins comes out clean.  Enjoy!  xoxo
