Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line muffin tins with 15 parchment muffin liners or grease.

Whisk together the melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add the vanilla, eggs, and buttermilk and whisk until smooth.

Add the flour, baking powder, salt, rhubarb, and strawberries and mix just until combined. Do not overmix!

Fill each liner to the top with batter. Stir together the melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon and crumble on top of the batter in each liner. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Rhubarb Prep Magic 🔪
Always trim and remove the stringy outer layer of rhubarb before chopping, as these fibers can create a tough texture in your muffins.
Moisture Control Technique 💧
Toss freshly chopped strawberries and rhubarb in a light dusting of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
Streusel Secret Weapon 🧈
Use cold butter when making the streusel topping and work it in with your fingertips to create a perfect crumbly texture that will crisp beautifully in the oven.
Flavor Depth Hack 🌿
Add a touch of orange zest to the batter to enhance the natural sweetness of the strawberries and provide a subtle, complex flavor dimension.
Perfect Muffin Rise 🧁
Fill muffin cups only 2/3 full to allow proper rising and prevent overflow, ensuring a beautiful domed top with the streusel topping.
